Burning flesh is all

you can feel, all you can smell;

When will this pain cease?

The author's comments:
This was meant to be able to be taken into perspective different ways.
Metaphorically or realistically. To feel like your being burned inside because of emotional or mental distress, or well, being literally burned. I really don't have any idea where this came from. Plz comment! Criticism always welcome:)

I would say that this is the best haiku I've ever read. It has so much meaning in just seventeen syllables... A++!

&quot;To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It&#039;s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Taylor Swift
