58. turbulence

I am tired of this turbulence.

There must be a right way, right?

I strike at matches continuously

but the winds fight my efforts endlessly.

Will the calm ever come?

Does it even exist?

Will I ever make fire?

Or ever know rest?

I am tired of this turbulence

and how it stripes me of life,

this little life I try to sustain

through orange coloured pain.

My wounds mock me

As they painfully burn

Maybe the only warmth I'll know

will be of implosion.
