River of Magma

A river of magma in veins in flesh
that burn and boil and blaze
has found a home within my gaze
and temperament these days.

I see what I can't hope to change,
and within my feeble soul
I scream and shout inside my hole
and life doth take its toll.

Notes

I'm not a fan of "and life doth take its toll". Too cheesy. But I don't think it's bad enough to put in the "poems I don't like anymore" category.
