you tell me
you'd rather leave
than smell the smoke that lingers on my skin

you tell me
that i can't be happy
when all i have is nicotine and halfhearted lies

you tell me
not to play with fire
because i might burn myself to the ground

but what you don't realize
is i am a wildfire
and i want
to burn
((out))

Another  day  is  over.
Another  day  is  done.
This  week  went  past  so  quickly.
This  week  went  by  so  fast.
My  life  has  gone  so  quickly.
Old  men  told  me  so.
And  now  I  tell  the  young  men.
That  life  to  quickly  goes.

We struggle with what our parents taught us
That it was wrong to love the same gender
That we need to stay away from the colored folk
That thin people were beautiful and thick was unhealthy
and to stay away from the weird ones.
Even that if you have *** before you're married, you're a *****
and if they aren't Jesus lovers then they were raised poorly.
They taught us money and looks over love
and that an animal is just an animal.
They taught you wrong.
Love is love no matter the gender
A person is a person no matter the color
No matter the weight
No matter the appearance
No matter the personality
No matter the ****** activity
No matter the religion
and an animal is not just an animal.. It's a life.
Your parents taught you wrong
So I will teach you right.

Five steps to get to the door
Five steps back.
Twelve steps to get to the stairs
Twelve steps back.
Thirty steps to get out the door
Thirty steps back.
Five hundred and three steps to get out of town
Five hundred and three steps back.
Six thousand and ninety two steps to get out of state
Six thousand and ninety two steps back.
Three hundred and two, thousand steps to get half way
Three hundred and two, thousands steps to get back.
Six hundred and five thousand steps to get to you
Six hundred and five thousand steps to get back.
These steps I walk to get you and these steps I take to get back
Are worth the amount of time it takes

The hardest thing to do is say goodbye
and I know that first hand
It's rough when you feel so close to them
and then are ripped from your life
It makes you feel jealous to the people that are

A breath of air is like a fresh start
No matter how hard life is at the moment
If you step outside and just breathe
All the worries are washed away
