Fire

I present myself in false lighting Though my sanity Occasionally gets the better of me I find the stars and your smile my only salvation That and the rain The only things I know will never change And never fail to wash away the pain Only one can assume the power of a name Sometimes I wish I had the willpower to change I have wings yet they are broken I have so many words that remain unspoken Sometimes I think there is so much to see And understand that there is so little left to believe Love me or hate me I only respect the ones who appreciate me For what I have done and where I have been Every **** up and every sin The world is over populated with hate and liars But my only interest Is in the ones who possess the courage To play with me..in the ashes and fire
