The Hole

I am happier now, because

I am finally suffering

No longer a truant pupil

From despair and hatred

It is not the same as indulging

To let myself fall is a

Luxurious thing

Like fingers through silk

There’s a bit of “whoops”

As you fall into the flames

The sensation of burning is most unique

To many unused to burning

The only advice I would give

To first-time burners

Is do not forget the sensation

Of falling

Because you will want to find

Your way back among the flames

And the only portal is with

Your assent
