Suppressed

Suppressed

The heat that suffocates me it is not the air that surrounds

The heat is suppressed inside me

One can not infer such body heat is lust or a status of a body temperature

I who is inside this body could hardly explain it

I forbid this soul to go one more step further

Its an agony to let it languish naturally

Seem like it will persist foreverThe heat is suppressed inside me

Just like me, a soul suppressed in a body
