Sitting by the fire watching the coals glow
Just like the anger burning away at my heart
The crackle of the burning wood
That’s me screaming “Why?!”
I place your hand in the fire
Showing you just what it’s like
As you swiftly remove your hand from the flames
You scream at the top of your lungs
I smile from ear to ear
Because just once, I have justice

In short form this poem is about how I put someones hand in a fire and smiled because it hurt them. My friends find it creepy but they don't know what I felt like when I wrote it.
