Analysis of Starting A Fire
Don't let yourself burn
From someone else fire
Don't set off the alarm
If you can save it yourself
Crying is the burning
When you hate everyone
When everyone hates everyone
When everyone hates you
Or when you hate you
Don't burn down
Use the match
To light a candle
A new beginning
But don't let yourself
Burn things down
Or else
Your just extinguishing yourself
