Burned
Burned,
Not by a flame, but by the pain.
A bottle of tears to remind me I’m human too.
Seeing the pain as weakness,
Yet in reality it’s strength.
Break the system.
See through the eyes of another,
Understand not everyone is the same.
Burned by society.
Not everyone is understanding.
The broken souls
Running through the darkness
Thinking they’re alone.
Putting up a mask
To match society.
Breaking through the walls,
Rising above,
Reborn from the ashes.
Like a phoenix,
We will rise again.
