Fireworks never frightened me When I was younger, I used to reach up to the sky Hoping that I could somehow catch them I guess it worked somehow The sparks made their way into my veins Igniting everything they touched I soon embodied fire It spewed out of me during arguments Burned down all my bridges It was my armor, my protection Until it engulfed the people I loved In flames not even I could extinguish One by one they left And for the first time in history Fire transformed into water Now, instead of an inferno There is a flood Instead of sparks There is rain Instead of burns Everyone is drowning I will never be the person they want me to be I am either too much Or never enough
