Fueled by fire

Fueled by fire
Riddled with rage
A burn so dire
It can't be assuaged

Left or right
Which way to go
No end in sight
Ready to blow

Options loom
Indecision feasts
The future is gloom
Confidence retreats

Trembling bones
A room without doors
Afraid and alone
Hear distant roars

No way out
But out of control
Incessant doubt
Takes its toll

I claw at the wall
Shadows chase
Bloody scrawl
Confined to this space

Imminent defeat
Huddled in pain
I take my seat
On this hell-bound train

Rolling fast
The end awaits
My future's now passed
I accept my fate
