Day In The Life Of A True Hero

God help me, what a tragedy, I am left in a burning sea,
It a place where hell is real and where no one must be,
It is a place where you smell your own fear and see it come near,
As it, approaches you hide and run but nothing can escape its horrible terror,

Should I be ready to compete and die or lose and run and not fight?
But if I success there will be a pot of glorious light,
As I feel the heat, I enter the maze,
Not aware of the horrendous glaze,

The battle is long as I battle for my treasure,
Not thinking about the winning pleasure,
This is my job and I must take every action austere,
It is in the day and life of the desire,

As I capture the beast, I am filled with joy,
Just like the feeling of happiness that senses like holding your favorite toy,
At the end of the day everyone is rescued with a pleased sneer,
This is all in the day of being a wonderful fire fighter.
