I've got a fire inside me.

It's been burning for a long time.

It's the only warmth I've got.

Without it, I am cold, lifeless.

I see the burning when I look

in the mirror.

It's so strong it melts the glass.

I try to hold my breath to

let it die, but it's impossible to kill.

Everything I touch burns.

All the people I've hugged,

they all have scars.

I can't stop the fire.

Can you stop the fire?
