Inner fire vs Inner Voice - Original poem

in Freewriterslast year (edited)

Fire! Fire!
It all burns inside!
The demons in my brain
nibble on my flesh
trying to devour me,
abolishing my power,
hopes and will!

They teach me a new religion
while I'm down on my knees;
they make me a believer ,
a fanatical worshipper who
forgot the freedom of thought !

Chorus:
"I was lost
and now I am found
I am the one.
I am the all
that you need to be!"

Inner voice:
Please don't close your eyes,
hold on, don't give up,
don't cross the line,
hang on to the last flash,
follow the voice
that guides you
through this ray of light!

Don't seek asylum yet,
don't give up the fight,
don't lay down and die;
come back to life,
It's your only option
I'm not done with you!
