flames

prick my skin

agony piercing through

my body and soul except i can

feel it spreading everywhere around me

my head hurts because of how painful it is.

it feels agonising, trying to torment me. it's

horrible. my head is being consumed and

my hair, already burnt to a fine crisp.

it hurts

except

they don't

know

because

as long

as i'm

not human

they would never care
