Burning Blue

My dream awry
I chant my mantra loud and clear
I chant my mantra of the week
know I am here
I may be off in my own world
yet I feel the same
I want the Earth to set on fire
I want the Earth to you away
but maybe I'm caught in the deepest spaces of my thoughts
so why do I wish the blue in the sky
flash red with a hint of orange
just so I can find an irrelevant manner of peace
but I'm only 10
What does this mean anyway
I'm only 10
Why do I care anyway
I'm only 10
so I put down this pen and play
can't let my shadow beat in this race today...
