I'm broken hearted

And flying free

Away from all this treachery

Running from the wildfire

As its chasing me down

Hunted me for awhile

As it burns the whole ground

Setting off its signal flares

Sparking up tension

A risky game of Truth or Dare

Beyond a stranger's comprehension-

To know my life

What goes on inside

Skimming the pages

Then say it takes ages-

To understand

The story at hand

Why bother learning about something

It's not like you own that land

Today

I feel ashamed

Not only for the madness

I've never meant to wage

Yet also

The whispers that sneak

Propelling drama outside

That wasn't theirs to keep

This fire might not ever go out tonight

As long as it's scorching in Bluebell light

Explodes from the gasoline

Who poured out its remains?

It'll only attract more attention

Now the people will gain-

So many rumors

Also nothing at all

Once they all learn

Most facts are false

Cremate my scars

Then sell it as tar

Until they see

Rich things turn cheap

Tomorrow

It'll either be a sunrise

Or heavy thunders

With lighting to strike

Draw a line

Take a side

Claim what's mine

Leave it all behind

With all eyes on me

I'd rather let combustions

Drown me in its blaze

Until I'm nothing

Because I'd rather burn

In my own hellfire

Then let people take turns

Consuming my suffering & making it into an empire.
