Their are flames in my eyes,
that are burning me alive.
As I swallow back tears,
that are like gasoline to the fire inside.
I sit and I wonder if someone will ever stop the pain,
than I remember they will choke on the flames.
And I know I'm to blame,
I have learned I am meant to live with the pain.
Smoke begins to cloud my vision,
I scream out,
but you can only hear it if you listen.
I burn knowing no one knows I'm a victim,
but I guess that was my decision.
I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,
the slide of my finger against the screen,
the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,
artificial noise.
Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,
playing in the soft mud of the Earth,
full of joy.
Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,
blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.
Pledge your life to liberty and justice,
raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,
who are you protecting though?
I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,
children,
