Take in oxygen,
let out fire.
Syllable by syllable I’m burned by the flames.
Surrounded by the lies I will grow to believe
with every rude name, sarcastic compliment, and taunting smirk.

To extinguish these flames I need more than a mere glass of water.
I need a friend
I need a hero
I need someone that will take in oxygen
And let out love.

I was inspired to write this piece when I was caught in a tricky situation at school and some of my "friends" started to call me some rude stuff.
