POEM STARTER
Playing With Fire.
Write a poem which uses this as the central theme.
Torched
It burns,
the feeling in my brain,
I can't explain,
but to ash my mind turns,
Too many neurotransmitters,
A flood so hot,
In the gap they flitter,
and begin to rot,
I can't think clear,
words begin to escape,
losing myself in this race,
towards insanity I veer,
When my mind no longer runs,
what becomes of me?
a shell of my humanity,
my soul's exit begun,
It all burns away,
just a meat-robot,
with nothing to say,
thinking I've no longer got...
Goodbye mind,
soul no longer bind,
to the cosmos it goes,
riding currents and flows,
I leave behind a husk,
as the brain rusts,
the heart pumps blood,
but "I" am done...
