It burns in the back of my mind,
day and night the burning goes,
bursting to be untethered,
lust, fear, sorrow and pride,
its all here,
in the back of my mind,
but if I were to unleash these inner demons,
my world would turn shades of blue,
its happened before,
and mustn't happen again,
so I walk,
sizzling and burning,
day and night,
in the back of my mind...
