Flame

The pain glows inside me  It seems to burn my skin  
A flame no one can see  
A fight I cannot win  
Burning away my life 
Changing the way I live  This is my strife
​​​​​There isn’t much left I can give  
The pain cuts me and boils my blood  
I can’t seem to fight
This flame is brighter than the sun
My eyes have lost their light 
I seem to be okay 
But inside I can barely breathe 
I always know what to say 
But inside, the anger in me seethes 
My mind has become a victim 
My body is a war 
But I don’t dare tell them 
For I am not worth caring for 
The pain continues to eat me up 
I slowly die inside 
All my happiness could fit in a teacup 
My eyes have no light 
The more I try to win 
The more I try to see 
The more this pain scars my skin 
The harder it becomes to leave 
I try to make it stop 
I try to make it go away 
But the pain isn’t easily mopped 
And I won’t be okay 
I’m scared for everything 
Scared I’ve lost my mind 
Scared to do anything 
I have lost all that’s mine 
So this pain slowly wins the fight 
I have been left behind 
Cause my eyes have lost their light 
And now I’ve lost my mind
