Unreal Fuel

Fire burns unreal fuel
torching the thoughts
that exude from the mind

Fire burns unreal fuel
it doesn’t exist
except inside you mind

Fire burns unreal fuel
Flames burn hotter
on fabricated images

Fire burns unreal fuel
frustration excels
fake not feigned images

Fire burns unreal fuel
I shouldn’t be mad
the thoughts perturb me

Fire burns unreal fuel
anger tears spirit
writhing around inside me

Fire burns unreal fuel
unreal becomes real
imagined emotions, reality

At what I marvel
