Poetry

Sunshine Not Fire

Backwards, backwards
I will not move forward
I will not go that way
Rage is the dragon
That roars within me
Charing all that surrounds
You infuriate me
By your careless attitude
Disregard for life
You astound me
By your selfish action
I refuse to burn
For your inconsideration
I reserve the right
And exercise it now
To protect myself
From the toxicity of you
I choose to see the light
That is sunshine not fire
