Burning

I feel it crawling
Just beneath the surface of my skin
Just looking for an opening
It burns

I feel like I'm always on fire
And it burns

But no one knows it
People just see the girl
But it still burns

And I can't null the flames
Hate, Anger, Misery
They are all fuel
And I bathe in their secretion
And it continues to burn

I'm hollow now
It evaporated the sugar
Cooked the spice
And left no reminisce of anything nice
Yet still it continues to burn

And so this shell goes through the motions
And so this shell keep trudging on
But the flames keep burning
And so this shell is almost gone
