Flames with emotions

The Last Flame challenge

When the fire lights small like a candle, my feelings were okay-

calm,

relaxed,

happy …

When the fire lights medium like a torch, my feelings were slightly okay-

sad,

excited,

anxious,

energetic

When the fire lights large like a fire pit, my feelings were possibly fine or not—

tired,

‘comfort,

‘nervous…

When the fire blaze massive like hell flame, my feelings were intense—

Depressed,

rejected,

disconnected,

‘dishearten,

fear,

anxiety,

‘anger…

Then--it went too far…

It burned everywhere and everything…

My intense emotions hurt everyone..

‘the ones who were around me,

and,

the ones who were close to me…

‘Everything is gone…

‘I have nothing left —

but only thing I got was my empty soul and the ashes were around my hands…

I have nothing..

‘I am nothing…

    I love how you use the different sizes of fire to describe your growing depression. Strong emotions a lot of people cannot handle, or don’t understand. Great relatable poem.
