Her burning flame


she lost her sanity, she knows she's not right
For five long years she's tried to fight
she ate too much, her stomach did not retain 
she didn't eat, her weight she did maintain
She walks the road, the same old road 
her actions were bland, no one could decode 
She smells the trees, it calms her down 
It keeps her sane, she will not drown 
She sings some songs, some made from her soul 
No one could hear her, she made that her goal
She wonders if it's talent, or merely a thought 
she keeps her linguistics hidden, makes sure she's not caught
She wonders if it's a passion, or just an amusement  
She could do it every day, but wonders how she could use it
She loves the arts, she loves to explore
Poetry, oh she wished she wrote more 
She was a lost cause in the woods, that no one could save
She was a burning flame, that was put down by the educational wave
