Writings
Walking down the street of my city I think to my self “What happened here” I look around and I see trash on the floor, people yelling at each other, a smell that’s no city should smell like, I see people smoking, drinking slowly killing themselve but will the government tell them to to stop no In fact they encourage it and when people try to speak up about it and tell them what happens to them tho...
Once upon a time in my city, on fire and it was the day I was absolutely hired I was tired of everything my new job and everything else. My window burnt down my house just broke down. I really did not like that day. I just listen to music on my very own phone hoping soon I would be home by first grade was scared and everyone else told each other affirmations till the end of the day we all knew it ...
My city on fire
I watch as it burns
I turn my lantern off
It’s no longer of use
The dancing flames
Give me all the light I need
My city on fire
I watch as it burns
I turn my tv off
It’s no longer needed
The flickering flames
Entertain me plenty
My city on fire
I watch as it burns
I turn my mind off
And lean back in my chair
The hungry flames
Push past my door
My city on fire
I watch as it burns...
I’ve been a city girl since birth.
I could never farm or hunt or herd,
I probably couldn’t even surf.
In every way, I was raised in the city.
My brain was practically one itself.
Look to my city, the one in my mind,
look at the chaos that unfolds,
as I get trapped in a warped time.
There’s way too much thoughts,
jumbled as smog in the sky.
Overthinking is only one problem,
in the city that lives...
Fires, Liars,
They have gone to far
Did they drive here in their car
How did they get through the burning city
They were let through by people oh what a pity...
In the city of fire, where passions blaze,
Neon lights flicker, lost in a haze.
Streets pulse with energy, hearts racing fast,
In the heat of the moment, we’re free at last.
Every corner whispers secrets untold,
Dreams forged in flames, stories unfold.
The night ignites, with laughter and tears,
In this fiery city, we conquer our fears.
With every heartbeat, the city roars,
In ...
My city on fire, flames climbing higher,
Ashes turn to dust.
The night sky, embers will fly,
Heart gaining rust.
The desert jewel, oh what a fool,
I was to trust.
Marici cries out, and I shout,
“ Your defeat is my pursuit “...
One thing about me is I don’t like fire
My house,The hotel
Literally got caught
So for the city I’m in now to be on it
Quite scary
Rapidly it spreads
Vision
Nothing but grey thick smoke
Get low
Stop,drop,and roll
That’s what they taught us
In school
Jumping in that water don’t even look appealing or cool
You’ve got to move
Inhaling and exhaling in that environment
IS NOT SAFE
Get aw...
Flames in the city
smoke rising out the chimney
look like 420
I rememebr my first day chiefing
grab your kids and your money
you cant go back honey
Dont forget your social
You gone be lookin like a dummy
Bricks in the ground
stones in the air
marble floors on the celiing
so much smoke im impaired
Screams so close
Yet they souls feel far away
I hope they in they in heaven
We in hell everyday
...
Sometimes it seems I have it all,
With money,
Education,
But it came at a great cost,
And I ended up forever lost.
Sometimes I feel so low
And it doesn’t help to be broke.
I want to leave but I’m just
Too far
From home.
My life is a city on fire,
And I’m watching,
As it burns,
Alone and suffering,
Lacking in love.
If only those thoughts didn’t creep in,
Drowning me in an intrusive obsession
I n...
