Stayed up till this disastrous time thinking and worrying and fretting.

My heads were way up in the clouds. I can't believe I was daydreaming so badly just a few hours ago.

(How come I didn't notice I'd left so many things unwrapped and abandoned after the trip? Things that can't solve by themselves; and I'd just left them hanging.)

it was exceedingly obvious what it referred to.

Ramming headfirst with anger-tinged, harsh words, (not a good idea, not a good idea at all)
Backfire, (not as simple as it seemed)
Plummeting straight back at me,
headfirst into the ground

so frustrated and agitated then, everything spewed forth like sizzling, molten lava, burning words that merely further angered, reduced everything to feelings of irritation, they're ashes

ashes left behind floating
didn't notice it till they descended,
burst into brilliant orange flames, dancing,
(what I have to put out.)

I need to solve this, as soon as possible...
because considering how clueless I am
it may take seconds for those dancing, orange flames to flicker
illuminate the situation with more hatred, (not that there's not enough already)
more and more and more,

I need to improve, desperately.
