Fire Inside my lungs Inside my throat Smoke clouding my sight I see no end The flames are growing With every blink Tears flood my eyes The fire is unscathed All I see is red The red from my soul I scream The fire is encouraged My shrieks give the fire hope Hope is unstoppable I breathe in soot My throat is disintegrating Within my lungs But not my heart My heart fights back The warrior of the body No chance of giving up The heart creates hope Hope is unstoppable The epic battle The fire swings The heart absorbs The fire weakens The heart does not The heart becomes the fire The heart prevails The heart creates hope Hope is unstoppable

Unstoppable
I’m sick of everything. Genuinely tired, my brain has disconnected no longer Wired No longer inspired Motivation has disappeared No more desire There is no burning fire That makes me want to succeed I’m not depressed I’m not anxious Not emotional For ***** sake I just find no point in wasting precious years of your life The best ones at that, Can’t you see? Education, Can’t you ******* see what it’s done to me and What it’s done to us This community It’s turned us in to brainwashed lunatics Who refuse to listen Who grow up and see That they can’t live for themselves They could never think for themselves Or decide what they wanted to do It was put into their heads Burned into their brains We’re not robots Can’t you see Can you? I thought that this was the ‘land of the free’ Guess I was wrong, wasn’t I There is no longer any desire There was never any at the start I just believed their little game, You people convinced me that I was smart So that I would grow up to be one of your pawns You thought that I’d be a part Of this never ending cycle, Well guess what You’re ******* wrong Get it through your heads I’m not some piece on a game board That you can control step by step, I’m a living being With my own thoughts And actions You’re you, I’m me This life is mine, leave mine alone and fix your own Just leave me be
