My soul is a sparked match<\/p>\n
Capable of burning down every abandoned gas station in your stereotypical hometown<\/p>\n
that inspired every 80s movie about a guy named Brett from Chicago<\/p>\n
rebelling against the system.<\/p>\n
The last bit of the pungent, addicting smell of gas left in one of the barrels<\/p>\n
Is enough to light the world on fire in the darkness of dawn, a warm glow recreating a painting<\/p>\n
of orange and yellow swirls with the burnt taste of revenge as everything goes<\/p>\n
Boom. <\/em><\/p>\n But my burnt match of a soul<\/p>\n Has difficulty sparking anything in life<\/p>\n When floods of thinking sizzle out the last of the smoke<\/p>\n And the world is washed over in gray.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The sky is a clear blue, early morning birds chirping over an empty lot<\/p>\n Their wings flapping away the fires where its passionate life stood minutes before.<\/p>\n The motionless air brings about the sadness of reality that there is nothing left<\/p>\n Of the past or present or the time anything ever mattered in the first place.<\/p>\n The fertile land will always be covered in nothingness, dried up flowers packing their bags<\/p>\n And flying off into the sunset, a shooting star that will never rise again.<\/p>\n The burning fire is cold and heartless<\/p>\n In her darkened hands covered in potassium chlorate, sulfur, fillers and glass powder,<\/p>\n The same material that gave life to the glowing match;<\/p>\n \u201cTutto \u00e8 bene ci\u00f2 che finisce bene\u201d.<\/p>\n But now, the station will forever be on fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My soul is a sparked match Capable of burning down every abandoned gas station in your stereotypical hometown that inspired every 80s movie about a guy named Brett from Chicago rebelling against the system.
