Burning

The burning of a house
Not a single peep not even a mouse
The smoke gets in your head and makes you feel dizzy
Then you start seeing things silly.

They say "it's all in your head so have some fun
Go play in the spring or go for a run.

"We're just kids" is what they say
Yet that never helps the pain go away

They love hearing themselves talk
On and on it's like they only squawk.
They say we "have no reason to stress"
When our lives are " at their best"
