Fire in my bones

Words appear as
fire in my bones
memories like fuel on red ashes

Writing things down
cools the flames burning
At the end of the day
I am who I am

hello barbra

This is so simple but so expressive as I see it. I really like it. Only the word "hot" doesn't look right to describe the flames...Maybe another adjective or even nothing is needed there.
just thoughts. I really enjoyed . Hope all is well.

thanks Rula

I guess flames explains itself as being hot since its aflame. Lol
