Quiet
I should
lie down
And live as
quiet
As a
mirror.
I reach for
tender mercies
To find the
air
Raging with
fire.
I set the
sky ablaze
With my fiery hands.
Birds fly
like leaves
Through the
sky
As I find
it broken
And without.
Soot
lingers on the grey
Ground as
the fire
Burns the
center
Of my
pain.
