Still bright like your scarf, Winter doesn’t feel so hard to you now Still cold like the hearth, Take me away from the world Still warm from the smoke, There’s no end to the beginning Still hurt from your work, Listen to what the teachers say. Your candle still burns Slowly covering the walls “Penny, don’t walk the wrong road, You’re the lion that forgot to breathe.” Blink too hard and you’ll miss it When the nights leave you, this is how time stops; I wonder if you’ll wake up one day You’re staying in a purple cage when you’re growing wings. It’s not like any other life, this one you chose, “But this is something you won’t have, if you don’t do what I do,” Yes, but I don’t want it. I hope you won’t drive your plane into the ground, but I’m scared you will I hope you’ll keep your candle lit, but I don’t know if you’ll try.
