there is a fire, deep in my brain 
a fire to string a meaning together 
it pulls on the strings of my heart 
pulls my arm as it runs from me 
burns a hole and wants it filled 
leaves me gasping for air 
grasping for something to hold 
blindly following it to the end 

there is a fire, deep in my heart 
a fire to make them see 
it forces me to think, think, think  
spreads into the forest of thoughts 
burns down the trees like it’s easy 
pokes me in the side, sharp like needles 
leaves me to bleed out on the ashes 
blindly following it to the end 

there is a fire, deep in my belly 
a fire to find 
it pulls on my hair, keen 
leads me to an open field 
urges me to sit and wonder 
pushes me to the stars 
wants me to get there 
blindly following it to the end
