sky on fire
i dream of a life that is not my own
where is my true life? where is my true home?
my life is one with bloodshed and violence
and my home, filled with a deafening silence
my life is one of an orange sky
a sky on fire, filled with souls that lie
my life is one of noise
roaring, they lack a poise
blackening the sky, they demand attention
wondering if anything will break the delicate tension
gift me your wings,
allow me to soar high above the bullet rings
so that i may be free of this pain
but my life is one of rain
