the burning

to do it alone
to be dethroned
to follow
to follow the words
unknown
to be a poet
without suffocation
to set him on fire
without hesitation
to be able to hear
the undeniable
truth
to be able to heal
when it hurts
to be able
to say
that I won't obey
to you
my master
your rules of play

to be able to hide

and show myself

again

to be able to kill

the pretentious

madman

but I'm still alive
with this fire within
and I'll be pushed

again
but I will
win.
