She is unbeatable
nobody expects her to trip
people don't even know how to put her a label
because she carries too much on her shipThe girl on fire can't do mistakes
she must take a deep breath and be regal
because the moment she fails
all the hate she won't be able to takeThe girl on fire can blow up any time
The world is filled with combustional objects
she begins to burn like the heat in summertime
but immediately the ignition she rejectsThe moment the girl on fire confused
oxygen with carbon dioxide
A reaction was diffused
and the girl, turned into ashes, had to hideNobody sought for the one
who was the girl on fire
and all the ashes went down
while nobody admiredThe ashes reborned
while nobody was watching
A phoenix was born
after all the bleedingEveryone admired the phoenix
but nobody knew that was the pile of ashes
that was alone turned into strips
but now everyone watchesEverybody forgot about the girl
but the phoenix also forgot them
she lived life as a twirl
and stopped asking "disappoint them will I?"
because her explosion
bought motion
to her new life
and she was no longer
in disguise
