Flames

In a state of illness and desperation,
Only then do I have the revelation. 
A revelation that opened my eyes,
Cut me down and made me high.
Made me see in order to learn,
In the pits of hell you have to burn. 
Burn away that layer of skin, 
To open up what lies within. 
Turn reality inside out, 
release all shame and all doubt. 
Wear it as a badge of honour,
And with those actions you grow stronger. 
So now when I feel the flames of hell,
I remind myself it's just a spell,
And the only truth is here right now.
