Open Mic: Despair

By Matt Swafford 

Burning, burning, deep inside
Yearning, yearning, to have something that’s mine
Turning, turning, as worlds collide
Burning, burning, deep inside

Calling, calling, “Anyone there?”
Falling, falling, from the air
Crawling, crawling, in despair
Calling, calling, “Anyone there?”

Fighting, fighting, like never before
Writing, writing, to be restored
Lighting, lighting, the fire in my core
Fighting, fighting, like never before
