Jumping out of bed feel the heat against my skin
To hear the crackling of flames against the walls and the drapes
The heat is so intense trying to eat at my flesh
The flames lighting up my eyes making it hard to see what's insight
Flames branching off in the distance making it hard to find an escape
Will I be fast enough to escape this place
The smoke feels like knives against my throat
Choking on every breath I take
I know time is running out to find an escape
The flames want me to stay
The smoke is calling my name
Will I be fast enough to escape
Leaping over the beams that came crashing down
Chasing Smoke to find a way out of my home
This house is filled with the memories that I made
To later watch them be destroyed by this terrible flame
Crawling on the ground to stay safe and sound
Making it easier to find the way that leads to an escape
Will I be fast enough to escape
Reaching for the door that has been heated shut
Leads me to a window where I can jump
The strength I had being to escape was one of the most petrifying things
The ecstasy of the chase
The fear that makes my heart palpitate
Will it all be worth it
Or will this all lead me to faint
the constant question that floods my head
Will I be able to escape?
