Burn

I'm a fire

Something is growing inside me 

Oh god 

I think it might be a fire 

No, not a flame of passion 

An actual slow-burning

Ember creating 

Night lighting 

Fire 

I feel it burning my whole state of being 

From the inside out 

There's no hope left for me 

There's no hope left for those around me 

Because all I can do is 

Burn 

Burn myself 

Burn people 

Burn places 

Burn everything 

I think the only way to extinguish me and my life 

Is an ice cold bucket of water 

I won't have to live with guilt 

I won't have to live with myself 

I won't have to hurt people, places, and things

I can just die out like most every other flame

Hello! wonderful work, quite relatable :) in line 20 it sounds like 'they' should be 'the'. Just a quick little thing I noticed!
