Tick-tock...
Empty on the inside.
Cold-hearted.
The flame in me has died.
I'm just tryna survive,
I don't wanna be living this life.
They say my limit is the sky,
That everything will be alright.
But I know how they lie.
Just tryna calm me down,
So they can sleep safe and sound.
But I refuse to rest,
Until my death,
I'll fight the demons I've never known I have.
I'll make my way to the top.
I'll say goodbye to the past.
I won't apologize for my flaws.
It's time for a change.
Time to destroy what made me this way.

"The flame in me has died." It never dies, Amanda. It might become feeble and insignificant in the eyes of the world, but it never, ever dies. All it needs is a little boost (: This was very well written. Keep writing <3
