Before my biggest fear was fire Now it’s come to be my best supplier Spark the flame on something metal Beset my skin and let it it settle As the hair begins to sizzle down All I’m left with is an inverted frown I do it again and again it’s never enough As much as I try I can’t be tough After a while it ceases to hurt anymore And it leaves my mind to wander and explore The following days it oozes with pus I keep it my secret so others don’t fuss The mangled skin stays scarred forever I don’t hate it for I could never If it weren’t for the flame I always knew I know I’d end it through and through
