You Play With Fire

My temper rises quick.
A flick of flame,
Flame to a match,
All with a click
Of my fingers.

My ember ignites.
Ignition of anger,
As if anger's my fuel,
Fuel to contrite
My soul.

A base of heat.
Crackling upwards,
Suffocating the air,
For I am depleted
By constriction.

My inferno burning.
Lighting the dark,
Swallowing my fear,
For I am turning
Into something I'm not.

A dangerous spark.
Hard to contain,
Restricting oxygen,
Consuming my path;
Blocking my way.

Deadly fire.
Spreading within,
Rekindling my rebellion,
My soul in dire
Strife.

Flame emanates from my skin.
Get too close,
Make me angry,
Retaliation
Will be seen.

I'm not a toy.
You play with fire,
You get burned,
Fire destroys
Humanity.
