The fire is far away Not far enough to not see the flames But far enough to not be afraid Far enough to evacuate Far enough to see the damage But not experience the damage Its getting warmer But no need to panic I live here I watch the fire everyday It inches closer but still I stay I can’t leave yet I have to much going for me here I can’t leave yet My friends haven’t left yet I can’t leave yet It’s not my time It will be soon And then I will leave The fire won’t reach me Hopefully I want to leave I hope it all burns down And I get to watch and laugh

The Fire
The fire is far away Not far enough to not see the flames But far enough to not be afraid Far enough to evacuate Far enough to see the damage But not experience the damage Its getting warmer But no need to panic I live here I watch the fire everyday It inches closer but still I stay I can’t leave yet I have to much going for me here I can’t leave yet My friends haven’t left yet I can’t leave yet It’s not my time It will be soon And then I will leave The fire won’t reach me Hopefully I want to leave I hope it all burns down And I get to watch and laugh
