You're alive, my candle
You're a beautiful and unique wick
About to blow out
In the night of falling shapes
In the night of fever walk
We did the igniting
We did the melting
We do the killing

Turbulent upbringings
often teach one
to write out the storm

To all the pairs of unimpressed eyes
Please wait a little longer,
Please give me some more time

To your privilege,
And
My dismay,
I'm a pro player,
In the game of
Self-blame.
No need to worry ya! In the end, it's me.
