Scorched Earth

I want to set fire to the world 

and watch the flames blaze around me,

feel the heat on my skin until I'm engulfed.

 

I want the whole world to cave in,

collapse upon me so that 

the pressure destroys my bones. 

 

I don't want to feel anything anymore

because feeling is too much to bear,

and I'm not strong enough.
