Playing with fire

The flames that surround me

burn so bright.

Its heat

surrounds me.

I dare not move

for fear of being burned.

But if I do not move

I will be burned.

Now as the flames move closer

it grows brighter and hotter.

The flames just keep getting

closer and closer.

Now as the flames draw near,

I can start to smell my

flesh burning.  Then I

feel the flames

crawling up my skin.

As I turn to ash I wonder

"Why did I start this fire?"
