Like fire in my bones,
The words stir daily,
Licking up my insides,
Threatening to engulf,
To waste away,
Until expression given
There is no rest.
Like fire in my bones
You have come to stay,
Stamping your foot,
Defiance radiating from your eyes;
The battle stands lost
Over and again
To the unshakeable one.
Cries for liberation
Fill cup after cup,
There is always a way,
Light at the end of the tunnel,
There is hope,
Liberation is at hand,
Fire!
