Fire

I awaken, ground shaking earthquaking mirth/

lava breaks the surface, a firey new birth/

nerve-wrecking, devil beckoning a flame firth/

I fell into the pyroclastic flow face first/

I fell into a place where my best was the worst/

developed from a rage in the struggle and the hurt/

caged in a game where I always finish last-

and the horrors of the past reappear and they lurk/

the denizens are hesitant to see my intentions/

the heavens are neglected, there is no repentance/

the sentence I receive is a reprieve of whats evident-

live like dirt, die as the same element/

never meant any harm, still dropped plenty bombs/

dropped by baby-moms so I chose to be celibate/

then again the elephant is present in the room-

lets all give her the floor, let her try to be elegant/

Demons in the heart, Fire in the eyes/

honesty is forbidden, sexting is on the rise/

next thing you know you fall asleep amidst the lies/

awaken then reprise, I was burned  but not surprised

shots fired, but the bullets are irrelevant/

so never mind my pitchfork and malevolence/

excellent, selfishness takes precedence-

I'll maintain the facade like its effortless....

Hell is like coachella, and festivus combined/

lets celebrate with shots and guitars and some rhymes/

lets penetrate the soul whether dirty or divine/

and leave me with a bill for the other phone line/

More pints of Mad Dog! More glasses of wine!/

she like 'whats yours is mine and whats mine is mine'/

'no time to give back it's my time to shine'/

'went to school 4 2 long to waste my time on the grind'/

'you should try 2 help Trey, oops stop rewind'/

'I need money for rent, but you check-card declined'/

Burn through the paper, napalm the credit line/

tried to suck me dry while jealousy on your mind/

Demons in the heart, Fire in the eyes/

honesty is forbidden, sexting is on the rise/

next thing you know you fall asleep amidst the lies/

awaken then reprise, I was burned  but not surprised
