Living flame

I don’t care that you think I should stop caring.

I think you should be kinder.

I guess we all have something wrong

With us deep within.

As your lips keep calling them unhuman

To provoke a reaction of distress,

I will take my time to sink in deeper,

Deeper into the land.

You now know why I am a living flame.

There is still life left there.

And if finally caring for this hurts you,

I am here to take the blame.

I will gladly burn myself into cinder

If it will shine a light onto this all.

I will plummet myself into darkness

And I will gladly take the fall.

I will be the tinder

If you will just listen to their calls

For help.
