Tonight I let It Rage

I can’t stop.

I’m becoming obsessed.

I do that,

focus in

on one thing.

I get lost in it.

I let it take control.

I get out of my own way,

and submit to a craft-

a skill-

a passion.

It’s a fire,

that when it burns,

it burns bright.

I am possessed by it,

and being possessed,

isn’t a good thing.

It feels like a gift,

but also,

a curse.

But tonight,

tonight I choose

to let the fire

rage.
