my ex's poem from long ago

[thestarsfall]

Hell is life on earth
Burning all around me
Singing my personality
Shaping who the world wants me to be
Not what I want myself to be
The burning shards melt away my hopes
Tormenting me about the mistakes of my past
The flames eternally burn in my mind
Never letting me forget the people I have hurt
The nightmares I have caused
And my awful past
My fears are ever present
Never dimming
Never flickering
Always reminding me that I have no hope
Nor will I ever
My life was once joyful
But has now turned dreadful
There is nothing to look forward too
The flames surround me
Growing
Overtaking the depths of my soul
As hope seems to come closer, the flames arise
Covering up the chance of escape
Smoke burns within me, choking me inside out
My personality, my love, my feelings have all escaped from me
Flying sparks continue to sting me, never letting up
Nobody can hear my muffled yells
I gasp for breath
The thick smoke has filled my lungs, burning me as I struggle
Finally it is time
It is time to give up
There is no way I will win
I start to crumble and crack
Conforming to everyone else's needs.
The transformation is over
The question is.. who am I?
I am no longer myself.
The flames smolder, occasionally burning me
But I can no longer feel
For I do not belong to myself
