Burning

by Benjamin Phillips   Feb 2, 2004


Burning inside, I am engulfed in flames
Not knowing myself, not even my name

It's so dark I can't see the end of where I am
It's like I'm in the core of hell, which seeks to make me the damned

I hear screaming from my soul that can't see the light
It's an endless battle no matter how much I fight

I'm lost in this world of pure evil, hatred, and great depression
There's just so much darkness that no one could ever begin to mention

Everyday a knife cuts deep inside of me, slowly cutting through my flesh
It's making wounds that will forever stay fresh

One by one scars of life are taking over me
I'm wanting to run away but there is no where I can flee

The burning sensation is causing an unhealthy soul
With every evil thought that begins to grow

Having this mind possessed with evil temptations
Is making me feel great anguish towards all situations

Everyday I see people act in despair
They just can't understand why life isn't fair

It never will be no matter how much you try
Life just isn't meant to be fair, that's what is burning my insides

The burning flames hurt me in all these ways
I can only take so much of this, I fear my future days

All this evil inside me will one day be revealed
No matter how much I try to stop it, I won't be able to keep it sealed
