I never thought that I would be afraid of the light
Until that night
It started with the smell of it
I thought nothing of it
Until it choked the moon
And I knew I was doomed
Would it be better to drown?
Then my burned body found?
It rose high, with no warning
No chance to see the morning
It's roar was fiercer then a lions
It always seemed as likely as flying
I'm scared of light
Now, it takes more than a fight
To find a way out
The heat licks closer
Casting a light's shadow
Nature's destroying composer
Making the embers glow
With a twisted song
Of words I don't know
I feel light, like I belong
Where the fire is no foe
I'm close to the ground
Where there's supposed to be air
god I hope I'm found
Why is life not fair?
There's so much I've never said
I don't want to be dead
I can't breathe-
I c-can't b-breathe
please help me!
pleas-



Like a forest fire, there is no escape
Okay, that happened. .....
