The Unkindled one has yet to set a flame in you 
Depression, anxiety, suicide, pain and suffering 
Longing, Loving, connection, belonging 
Weeping, sadness, grit, and strength  
Weaved into fragments of your time 
Only then will you surely shine? 
 
No 
Burn, burn, burn, burn and continue to burn 
You will never pass 
You will never break  
You will never take 
You will always ache 
 
Cry yourself to sleep, self-pity of what you speak 
You find no happiness? Everything is just or not fine? 
It’s tough? You want to quit? 
You’re upset at yourself? Your life is in shambles? 
A friend betrayed you? You go through a lot? 
You went through a breakup? The drama is too much? 
You don’t love yourself? You hate yourself? 
You complain? You rationalize the choices you make? 
You’re embarrassed? You have panic attacks? 
  
Yes 
that’s me, you and me is also what you see 
Why not look in the mirror and tell me what you need 
I am here, watching there to see 
I’m here in your time of need 
 
But 
You don’t know what it’s like  
You think I don’t know? 
You don’t understand 
You think I don’t understand? 
 
  
Artifice connection through signal and wire 
Having it in your hands it is always dire 
Tapping and silence rather than speech  
Everything else you don’t really want and need 
You are not special.
