I saw a big flame few days ago,
a blasting red as I walked down my path
Although, it wasn't exactly within my path
I could visit that flame and try to extinguish it
But you see, the flame was too big
and my hand is still burnt from my previous encounter with tiny flames
I've decided, some flames aren't mine to extinguish
I didn't have enough power for that
Do you know why this flame bother me?
There are people around the flame
Doing everything and anything but not extinguish it
Screaming, yelling, blaming - even trying to murder one and another
And of course, the flame got bigger - fights are its favorite meal
Some people aren't lucky enough to listen to the beating soul in their heart
The one that will save them from danger,
whether it's from their own stupidity or caused by others
Like the one that I have, I took care of him as he took care of me as well
Only if you listen, closely to the whisper of your God and soul
you'll know how to extinguish those flames
I've learned, and I'm glad for listening well
After that flame accident, I went into a cave yesterday. It reminds me of a certain feeling as I went in and noticed this thing that blocked my path.
It was pain and chaos
in a form of webs but in the disguise of a fog
It looks like a bunch of thick air and droplets of water
however when you touch it--
It'll strangle you, irritate you, and annoy you
it sticks in you, contagious
like a get-off-of-me feeling
and the sad part is, it's out of your control
a natural phenomenon, something beyond your control
It wasn't something that you can get rid of
sometimes it'll whisper to you,
"you'll die, you'll fail, you'll be miserable"
like chanting thoughts that you ever heard before
but I've grown up, I went through a long path
it's been a while since that day back in the 'Queen's Chamber'
I'm filled with anger, and you know how I look when I'm angry
overwhelming silence filled the air, the webs eventually give in
I literally just treat them like they don't even alive
an unworthy being to be even noticed
Just like the flame, this webs isn't mine either
That's why; it's not something that I'd sit down with and talk
They're a similar kind with the 'Queen'
a toxic being, evil almost
It's been a long story, isn't it?
I've made out of the cave alive, don't worry
Remember those flowers that I tell you before?
I've planted it in the cave
this path was mine to take, a special one
and I have to do what I do
the flowers will light up, and the goodness in life will be remembered
