Freedom through the flames (Etheree)

by Kasie   Jan 23, 2017


Smoke

Filled air

I'm gasping

Trying to catch
My breath. My eyes burn
and my lungs are stinging.

I can't breathe and I can't see,
The smoke is overwhelming me.

Trying to move closer to the door,
Only to smack the wall in front of me.

Blinded by the fire, I kneel on the floor,
Trying to escape the roaring flames.

Searching for the way to freedom,
I inch my way through the smoke,
Dodging through the debris

Thankfully I find
An open door
Finally
I can
See
The
Way to
Freedom and
Crawling quickly

Through the open door
Trying to catch my breath.
My eyes still burning like fire.

Quickly running for the front door,
Running away from the burning walls
Almost encased by the flames I scamper.

I dodge and I dart through my fiery home,
Running as fast as my feet would go.

Still struggling to catch my breath, I
Jump through the broken window
And land in the green grass.

Gasping for fresh air,
I catch my breath.

Finally

I am

Free
