A winded poem about leaving things to the flame and making my much needed escape. |
-A Space To Burn- by Keaton Foster In a hole In the ground No one Nothing Is around A space to burn Forever I have yearned For this night For the darkness Of my plight All of it To be down there Where it Cannot escape Where it Will not get away There is no choice No additional chance Now it must face Its impending doom It must become Ashes lumped A pile of refuse A mound of truth The fuel Has been added The ignition Forthcoming Glorious will it be This A thing of dreams A wanting relief That must now be Goof enough The hole is deep The sides Very steep Down there To impossible depths All that hurts me Has been thrown There Certain madness Brutal fears What was done What I’ve become Everything And all of it Down there A space to burn The smoke will be Thick Obscuring Leaving me thinking Pondering Just for a second If I did what was right That same second Has since left me Right where I am So ready Never again Will I regret Will I ponder What if The ashes Unswept To be forever kept No one will know No one But me And I’ll never tell I’ll never return To this sort of hell This is my one chance My one acceptance That will never become A thing of resentment I must act I have to persist After this After all has been spent For me alone There will be a new path In an opposing direction I’ll dare roam Changing my fate Restating The importance Of my single existence Finding both Purpose and meaning All the while Understanding That they are separate Unrelatable things I have suffered For far too long I know what Must be done And I’m about to do it A space to burn Has been dug Ignition will come Fittingly Just as There is a news day’s sun A rays of light Will ignite Such a ray will start The chemical reaction Of turning everything From something of both Weight and substance Into something As light as a feather Something that Regardless of weight Or lack thereof Will never find a way To again escape I’ll be free as dawn comes And then Into another sunset I’ll roam A space to burn… A Space To Burn Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
