Bathed by the side of the glistening of the blade
Sure to be burnt out of sight
by morning

My heart drops
As I've seen my people die
but never the face beneath that mask
as the burning was the least of the troubles
i want to say i am scared
but all i can do is stand and stare as the same
repeats
I thought i was over it
a scar of past long gone
now torn open once again by my fear of the place of my "home"
putting all together
became the chaos of my mind
the enemy behind my family's massacre unmasked
emotions flooded beyond belief
the blood of my people dripping onto my eyes returned in rage
and the grief tore back open
the scent of the smoke burning it down brought the denial
and the belief brought the dread of the knowing
now chokes me as it surrounds my skin burning into my skin
the marks of my land long gone
the language from the land i loved
becomes closer to my tongue as the speech becomes all too near
that it stings like a dagger i wield but sliced myself with
been  told to simply forget but these people i believe to love at one time
im not sure what i feel much more
confusion of rage and hate becomes tears streaming down my face
i want to speak but im silenced
by my desire to not let this repeat but the belief it will be too late
i stand back as a child of fear
among the shadows i live
in the shadow of a dragon never seeming to escape
my words yes my own
but seems all too soon my light is zoned in on one part
of this annoying life
to return home i have to figure out what i need to learn here
but memories flood throughout the night
the nightmares replace the dreams of freedom as sleep is scarce
i am silence like a child ....
staring in rage and fear
of what do i do next
