Fireheart

I’m blazing, burning, hurting…
I’m surrounded by embers, constantly flaring.
Hope is worthless, kindness is pointless,
I didn’t know that, that’s why I’m here.

Who will join me in this forsaken land?
Where the grass is red and the sun is black.
Fire under every crevice, under every crack,
On a ghost lake, in a ghost shack.

Here I’m isolated to protect myself
From the world which is so evil and dark…
I’m here because I was nice, because I was kind
Because I put on the wrong mask, at the wrong time…

I regretted everything, the world was unfair,
Punishing the good, the just, the ones aware
When I was at my darkest hour,
She appeared, smiled and said:
Blend in, be like them, but…
Better the instruction…

It was true…it was all unfolding now…
Do I not have human hands??
Do I not have human eyes??
Do I not have human affections??
Do I not have human passions??

Am I not hurt with the same weapons??
Am I not fed with the same food??
Am I not subject to your diseases??
Am I not healed by the same means??

If you stab me do I not bleed??
If you tell a joke do I not snicker and laugh??
If you poison me, do I not die??
And if you wrong and isolate me, do I not seek revenge??

I held up my sword named, ‘instant’
And wearing amour named, ‘eternity’
To deflect attacks in a blink of an eye,
And to last a while longer, just to stay alive.

The villainy you taught me, I will execute…
But I will better the instruction…
My Fireheart you have so long rebuked
I shall seek my revenge towards you human fools…
