Poetry by Taylor

The spark that ignites the flame

We love to save

As our world turns into fire

We let our hatred overpower  our desire

Our love becomes the water

Trying to put out the heat

But we all forget to breathe 

We forget to live

We just survive

We just put all our need for happiness aside

And take a ride

To the next out-of-control bonfire

To where people scream for their lives

We may save one or two

But we ourselves wont get through

Taylor

About how many of us try to help others when we have lost ourselves in a dark place, and instead of trying to save ourselves first, we prioritize our friends, family, or even strangers in hopes that they can get through it alive, but we forget about the risk that maybe we wont survive.
