We all burn
Our choices are like sparks
Igniting flames on our skin
In our hearts and bones
Invisible burns liter our bodies
We burn
From each joke you laugh at about the boy with autism
The girl who doesn't realize she is ugly to everyone else
From the words you whisper about others
We burn
From the words we throw at our parents
From our beliefs and opinions
That our parents don't care
If they died we wouldn't care
We burn
We burn so brightly that it lights up the sky
In reds so brilliant, they look fake
Like the blood of the boy you made fun of
The boy who had no burns
The boy who decided to go to soon
Because we all froze him
We shut him out
In that blizzard called the world
And we talked
About how weak he was
Every word was like another cold stab
And now
We burn
