Fire's Addiction Poem by Osaya Evbuomwan

Fire's Addiction



Just because Fire is memorizing doesn't mean you should be foolish and touch it

Fire is beautiful, it's hot, it's enticing, it draws you in, it will deceive you
Fire is wild, at times it can't be contained, try and smolder it with a rug and watch it burn right through it

Fire will look you straight in the face and taunt you, you'll question your strength and feel like you can take it

Its movements are that of a beautiful dancer, you will not be able to take your eyes off it until it gets a little too close

Fire will keep you warm in the dead of winter but falling asleep leaves you waking up with 3rd degree burns

Fire will feed you when you're hungry but burn your tongue and throat every single time you swallow

When you see Fire you can't help but become attracted, it has everything you want but at what cost?

Feed it oxygen and gasoline if you dare, watch it transform from a pretty little flame to a raging blaze that will consume you where you stand

She is not something you play with, she's something you keep at arms length... unless you like or want to

FEEL THE BURN!

'I think about it more than I forget,
Can't go around fire expecting not to sweat' -Dwayne Carter-
