Elements
Fire burns my skin,
Water invades my lungs,
Air scratches at my skin,
Earth swallows me alive.
The elements have turned on me,
Want to see me gone.
They are not harming my soul;
Just want the body gone.
They say "it’s time"
I don’t understand,
And they tighten their hold,
And my body slowly breaks.
At the end, a lonely tear escapes
I wasn’t brave enough for this life,
And I stop feeling everything
As my eyes finally close themselves.
My skin is burned,
My lungs are filled with water,
My skin is bruised
And I am buried in the earth.
But I am no longer in pain,
I am free to fly,
And the elements are by my side.
