Even When We Burn by ~IAmAPoet:iconIAmAPoet:



Even when we see us burn
We still feel the whole world turn
Tell me why, tell me why
I'm still willing to try

Why should I hide in my modesty
When it just crumbles to our honesty
Is it wrong to pay with kindness
For the sake of my own happiness?

Even when our lives are burning
I can see the whole world turning
I know they can't see my yearning
So tell me why, tell me why
You'll never see me try

Won't anyone tell me
What on Earth they want me to be
Tell why you can't hear or see
Tell me why, why me why
I'm still willing to try


And what's the point in quietly pining
When I'm reduced to this pathetic whining
My thoughts are steathily undermining
What I see, when I see
The whole world look thorough me
What I see, when I see
The whole world turn from me

So heartfelt. The world can be so hard to understand. You have caught the feeling well. I like the tenacity and determination part. The strength of good poetry.:)

Nothing is difficult to the brave and faithful.
I agree with Dr-Eman1, determination is a real plus in this life. :rose:

"There are two tragedies in life.
One is not to get your hearts desire.
The other is to get it."

George Bernard Shaw
Nicely written; great flow. You make your point poetically and beautifully.

Epiphany: a sudden and powerful understanding of something previously misinterpreted.


I want to spawn epiphanies in every generation.
It's nice of you to say
That really made my day :hug:
