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...

My city is on fire

They raise the standards higher

And the marks on my papers get brighter and brighter.

Everything surrounding me in gray colored ashes

Broken, shattered, smoke stained glasses.

A metaphor to lighten up the unbearable truth.

A phrase I will use to conceal what I lose.

Watered down mascara or a tear stained face

Isn't enough to let me take a break.

Late assignments and crimso...
