On Fire

My home

Is on fire

And the people here

Breath flames

And when approached

They ignite everything in their path

And for a while I

Continued this charade

Participated in throwing magma

Throughout the halls and rooms

The wood charred and the metal simmered

And nobody saw the destruction

Neither did I until I felt the burns on my body

For the one who breathes fire

Is the one who goes ablaze

So from this day I’ve decided

While everybody else is fire

And destroy this home

I will be water

And heal their souls
