Let the Flames Begin

I don’t feel a thing.

Nothing.

Nothing as I walk through the flames of my internal uproar.

I do not comprehend the feel of the flames

Licking my skin,

As they leave a white-hot trail of slime.

I do not understand the full weight

Of every nerve in my body being ignited

Under the consumption of utter and immense pain.

I do not realize the complexity

Of my heart

Shattering to pieces.

The question plays over and over,

Wrapping around my skull,

Crushing my cranium.

But is it real?

The sensation that I feel in the dark depths of my subconscious—

Is it truly what goes on around me?

Or shall I continue to imagine the delusion in my broken innocence?

I don’t feel a thing.

Nothing.
