Hellfire

This moment. This very moment.
I have so much in me.
So much in my hold.
Is there anything that can waver my faith?
My faith in me?
Why did I have to ask?
Is there a part of me that questions it?
Questions my hold on me?
Oh but I am the summation
Of all of these questions
In me.
What about now?
That moment is gone.
Do I still question it?
Am I still questioning myself?
Do I even make sense?
Do I have to make sense?
No, right? Because I am in charge of my life.
Yes, right? I still have to live among people.
No, right? I can still be free. It’s all about the thought process, the decisions I make.
Yes, right? My decisions will affect humans who are a part of my life.
Do I still have a hold on myself?
Does this moment overwhelm me?
Can anything overwhelm me?
Did I ever have a hold on myself?
Do I regret losing grip for a fleeting moment?
Do I regret anything?
Can I lead myself to believe I don’t?
But if I can be led to believe something, what about the hold I have?
But no one else can lead me on, so is my hold intact?
But I let myself be led on because of someone else
Or was it just me?
Do I confuse you?
Do I care?
Do you understand me?
Can you?
But if I’m strong, do I give a damn?
Am I strong?
Are you strong?
Are you sure you do a fool-proof job of fooling yourselves that you are?
But am I weak?
Are you?
Just because we let ourselves be overwhelmed
For one fleeting moment?
But I shot my guards up again.
Did you?
Once I hid behind the walls, do I care if you did?
It’s just me, here.
No more questions. Just me.
This moment. This very moment.
Where I have faith in me.
Where I have a hold on myself.
Where I can hold on to myself.
Where I can allow myself to get overwhelmed every once in a while.
And set myself ablaze.
Drenched in my own hellfire.
And go up in fumes.
It’s me, here.
Again.
Here.

And now.
