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

In school that’s what they taught us

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 awa...

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...

In my early years

The future seemed so bright

My head was full of dreams

Hope was easy to ignite

The days were full of joy

My laughter never ceased

The only fear of mine

Were myths of violent beasts

I now look back and wonder

How I missed all of the signs

Was it fear or denial?

Is the blame even mine?

I did not ask to be hidden away

My parents chose to raise me that way

My initial thought ...

The fires burn. The beast rages. Protect. Proect the neck. Protect the hands of such poise and grace. HE is why WE Fight. He held our sin, so we could fall. In love? In lust? No more secrets. Reach for what you yearn. Learn. As long as you are breathing, you are fighting.

Taylor? Our CITY IS BURNING. OUR CITY of GOD. The soldiers await YOUR direction. Romeo? Yes. No sneaking. Love openly. No one’...

Our love was a City on Fire. My husband and I built our home brick by brick. Confiding in one another, we shared even our most vulnerable thoughts. My husband was my Prince Charming. I myself couldn't believe this fairy tale until it all came crashing down. Our love was a village filled with so many memories. I ran left and right with exhaustion, trying to save us. But every time I put out one fir...

I live in a city

That only knows heat

No Winter, no spring

No autumn, just summer,

And HEAT

And when the rain stops

And grasses form weeds

And children grow up

And we hit the streets

We work without water

Our bodies grow tired

I look at the sun and wish it would retire

‘Cause whenever it’s here

And the clouds are not near

We reach 40 degrees

And the city’s on fire...

It’s burning,

no more turning.

I‘m watching it burn down.

Standing here and I drown.

Drowning in my thoughts.

They‘re slowly killing me, no doubts.

I can‘t stop the process.

I‘ve never cared less.

I don’t have a chance,

to stop the fire-dance.

Flames are winding trought the wind.

But they will never be kind.

It’s fire, but I‘m drowning.

All the thoughts keep me sinking.

And I started thinking…

...

“ I was either going to die a hero or live long enough to be the villain, Wasn’t I. The little girl left in the fire. Clutching her little teddy bear. Abandoned. They just forced reality. The raging whirlwind surrounding everywhere I went. Like a wall all around me covering me from human interaction or even solemnity. All my life was a joke wasn’t it. You ruined it. I stand alone. Little baby, don...
