The Hindenburg exploded in my face, Flames burned and scarred my visage forever. I didn't scream, I didn't blink; instead, I shrugged. I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. I went to school as if nothing had happened, When they questioned me, I turned away. They called me rude and indignant, But I had nothing to say. Limbo, Lost with nowhere to go. Apathetically indifferent as the flames grow, Dancing solo. Tears began to flow, Heartache demanded to be known. I couldn't seem to limbo under my limbo, My feet stranded in snow. I watch the survivors as they wear their burned coats; I wonder if this guilt is one I carry alone. The flames lick at my heels, but I show no pain, Eventually, I'll be saved by the rain. I hold myself, since there's no one else, As the forest fades into my view. Limbo, Fog, trees, and me on my own. I swear I hear a bear so near, But I know, I'm all alone. The snow has made the air turn cold, I curl up, wishing I fit their mold. Was the fire caused by bad fuel? Or was I destined to lose this duel? I try again to limbo under limbo, Pushing my feet through the snow. Apathetically indifferent, as I lay in my home. Who needs the Hindenburg when I have my own? Yet, I know that it must have mattered, Otherwise, I wouldn't be so shattered. The limbo I feel is a loss of what I'd known, The fire fuels my fear of staying on my own. This foolish indifference will never lead to bliss, Another battle, another strife; I must overcome it! Limbo, Now with a direction to go. I'll traverse through the forests filled with snow, I'll welcome the bears, so I won't be alone, And one day, I'll limbo under my limbo.

Limbo
The Hindenburg exploded in my face, Flames burned and scarred my visage forever. I didn't scream, I didn't blink; instead, I shrugged. I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. I went to school as if nothing had happened, When they questioned me, I turned away. They called me rude and indignant, But I had nothing to say. Limbo, Lost with nowhere to go. Apathetically indifferent as the flames grow, Dancing solo. Tears began to flow, Heartache demanded to be known. I couldn't seem to limbo under my limbo, My feet stranded in snow. I watch the survivors as they wear their burned coats; I wonder if this guilt is one I carry alone. The flames lick at my heels, but I show no pain, Eventually, I'll be saved by the rain.
