I can see them burn;
The eyes of dozens of people.
They burn with enthusiasm to watch me burn.
I’m at stake
With flames on my body;
Flames of hate,
Flames of despise,
Flames of hatred
And flames of pity.
All I want right now is to burn.
Because being burnt is
More pleasant than
Being burnt.
I’m in the middle of the town
Because of my existence.
Because of what I’m born with.
Why do I have to suffer for
Something I didn’t get to choose?
I’ve closed my eyes shut
For all my life
So that they wouldn’t know
They shine a different spectrum.
Not anymore.
I’m letting them shine for
The first and the last time.
I will let them shine for you.
I will burn for you.
I will let them burn me for you.
