Return Me


By Lina





things are rarely as they appear 
good intentions often interfere 
hidden translations in a sea of lies 
expose my shallow empty eyes

seeking warmth it's impossible to know 
just how close to the flame I can go 
it’s so hard to get warm now 
and so easy to get burned

compromises I can't comprehend 
anymore I don't try to understand 
one day I'm gonna lose this path and run 
returning to the wild where I'm from
