The fire.

 It can be exhausting, to be the one to smile 

all the time.

It can be breaking, to be the one that tries to save everyone

but myself.

Oh, the world is caving in, crumbling beneath us all. 

what to do.

Keeping it together in the fire of chaos, washing away hope

what do we do now

Carry the weight just for a little a while, its dust covered

by the years.

I've hung around for a while now, to try to see through the dirt

people of all colors ages and sizes crying stained by the hurt

where we all preach of better world but whose doing the part

to create a balance of dynamic where we can live in harmony

rather than in petty angry blinding us that we're enemies

believe in what you will but act in kindness

be a devil in your mind but stop contributing to this madness.

I never use to be afraid, to leave my front step

but people are killing each other.

I use to pray for the future, where would I go

now I wonder if there's tomorrow

The fire we started is growing out of hand

its out of reach and at our children's stand

We must do better

We need to better.

we can do better.
