Fire Child

Fire Child

My head feels like it's burning,

My eyes fill up with flames,

My tears are like candlelight,

So much anger

So much pain.

I don't know what came over me,

I'm normally very good,

But today I had to release it,

Because I know I could.

I want to run

I want to hide

But I don't know where I'm going.

I want to shout

I want to scream

But I don't want no-one knowing.

Sometimes I can see the light,

And feel so good inside.

Soft, gentle, good and bright,

I don't know why I hide.

My head feels like it's burning,

My eyes fill up with flames,

My tears are like candlelight,

So much anger

So much pain.
