here to stay
a fire burns within
pseudoscience consuming me
from the inside out
my body threatening to detonate
into a walking inferno
raging like a wildfire without any
extinguishment in sight
am I a victim
or a beautiful phoenix
a mystery
an enigma
a force to be reckoned with on any
given dimension
spontaneously existing
as a living breathing human
showcasing an eternal flame
july two thousand twenty-three
