Rescue Me

Everyone spews hurt
Like a fireman’s hose.
They fight fires. Brave the heat.
Singe themselves. Risk themselves.

I want to risk my all, my everything.
Lay it on the line.
Let me fight my own fires,
Let me shower all the tears down.
Kill the smoke.
Cut the char of lies.
Help me put out my own fires,
Burning so bright.

Because I’m no fireman.
