An arctic fire
Scorches the Earth
Into an entire
Frozen turf
Of no worth
Only hurt
Where death and decay
Are here to stay
In winter’s way
To my grave
The leaves are dead
Like the teens *****
Who went to bed
And woke up led
To their reluctant stead
The branches are bare
Like the love I share
With those who dare
Return my stare
Of frozen care
My friends are chill
Once they take a pill
And let the ice build
Until a giant ice hill
Freezes their light will
Seeing life as time to ****
Their shifty shoes I fill
This winter has shown
That I don’t have a home
And if I want to be known
I have to build a new phone
Or get bombed by a drone
So I stay in my zone
Of an arctic cone
I was once warm
In proper form
Until I grew horns
Like icy thorns
And my icicles
Are quite fickle
Their knife sickles
Until blood trickles
On my frigid path
Of winter’s wrath
I’m freezing to death
Until there’s nothing left
Except a societal debt
Of a temperature set
That was never met
