fireball

I want to think nothing

But I want to venture deep

Into caverns in my brain

That I have yet to reach

I long to be a mountain

Ever grounded in the gust

But I'd love to be a strand of hair

Weighed down by flecks of dust

I want to stamp a foot down

And feel my Earth go still

But I love the lava that spits and swirls

When I sacrifice my will

I want to make a panic

Long to generate a fireball

But I'll hold my breath and tighten my chest

Pretend I'm not here at all

No bundle of words

Satisfies the Empire

It seeps into my bones

And I feel it rising higher

I feel the vines snake around me

They burrow and they scratch

They make a home for them to roam

And I realise

I've met my match
