i am a forest
and you are fire.
you didn't come close
with your burning desire
i could feel your heat
your anger burning inside
as your flames rose
in a corner you did hide
a blaze i caught
burning me down
til' all i had left
was charred ground
look at me now
im growing back
beautiful colors everywhere
not you smokes black
Author notes
i have been burned down by others people's anger, just like a forest with a raging fire
