A fierce ball of fire
Waits at the front of my door
I’m stuck inside the room
As darkness crawls beneath the floor
The roses are scattered all around
Sometimes I feel the life
Then the thorns strike out of nowhere
Open the wounds I always hide
Born out of hurt and sorrow
I have wished for happiness all along
Embrace or move away
A dichotomy, I could never take the call
Walking along the road
I see the streets burning bright
The happiness ready to pull me out
But my shadows haunt in disguise
Sitting and staring at the ocean
The tides come and roar beside me
Sand loosening beneath my feet
As I plead to have some pity
Maybe I will try once again
One day the sanity will take away this pain
Maybe someday
I will pick up my pieces from the floor
One day, maybe,
I will walk out of that door
