Forged In Fire | Final Edit

Signed... The Dreamer

By Steve James LockhurstPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

the monster in my head is still playing

he claims I'm faking,

yet my words are blazing

this shits amazing,

I'm feeling fire proof

I'v tried escaping,

no route I'm not taking

my voice is shaking,

ya I'm fire proof

look...

I spend my day praying

escaping reality

praying for peace

for an end to anxiety

praying for wellness

instead of brutality

praying for family

instead of more tragedy

praying for truth

virtual reality

yeah...

the monster in my head is still playing

he claims I'm faking,

yet my words are blazing

this shits amazing,

I'm feeling fire proof

I'v tried escaping,

no route I'm not taking

my voice is shaking,

ya I'm fire proof

look...

the voices whisper,

telling me to go home

take the journey

its better to be alone

I contemplate,

to make these voices cease

but I was forged in fire

I was forged a beast

my confidence grew

my strength increased

my ego deflated

the voices decreased
