This fire

What is this fire?
Where did it come from,
Where is it going?
I have a cage inside
My chest, and its bars
Are my ribs.
There is a fire burning there.
It consumes my insides
But never comes out my mouth.
You can't see the smoke
Come from my ears or from
Out my eyes.
My skin does not feel hot
But still the fire is burning.
You cannot hear the crackle or the pop.
You cannot smell anything burning
Nor if you look at me
Would you guess.
I don't know what its for
Or how it started.
I don't know what its fuel is
Or how its supplied
I just know its raging
In its cage.

Sometime I feel like the whole...
Of life is on fire.
The flames don't burn,
I see you through the flames.
Your imperfections are gone and...
You extend your hand to me.
I can't reach you but I see you.

This flame burns evil.
This flame will refine me.
This flame will make me purer than...
Sliver.

This flame burns flesh but not spirit.
So my spirit will survive...
When this flesh which is my...
Betrayer is...
Gone.

Nice.

Although Arthur Brown screamed about this years ago.

Still, we all feel burnt . . at times.
