The world burns from fear


The world burns from fear

my tears are not strong enough to drench the flames

I wish you could hear

all the words i have never spoken 

cuz the silence kills me

I fear not the burning fire inside

Because it's the only thing that is consistent

I wish you would know that

i write becasue it makes me feel better

I listen when no one thinks i am

i speak when no one is around to hear

Peole i don't trust

They only know what they wanna know

I just want t ounderstand what's going on 

Because everyone's story is different

but no one cares enough to read them

give me yours and I will try to make sense of it for you 

cuz i fear your wolrd is burning too
