The Sound Of Fire
Written by: Chelsey and Ann

I corner myself against the wall
Sit there and watch memories being destroyed
Pictures now disintegrating in front of my eyes
Something I thought I could always avoid.

The flames begin to spread faster
The tears pouring from my eyes
The heat was just so intense
I felt as though I would die.

The smell of this smoke is killing me
I can not breathe one more time
I look around me theres walls, above is ceiling
No tables or chairs that I can climb.

There seems to be no way out
The devastation is taking its toll
Everything I once owned is now gone
I'm completely losing control.

OH why am I captured in this terrifying heat?
I have not one place to turn
I can't stand sitting here watching this
All the memories now died and burned.

Even though I'm experiencing all this fear
My mind slowly drifts away
To an argument between my friend and I
We had the other day.

I know I am not near her size
I'm quite a heavy girl matter of fact
Still wore makeup to try and look good
I thought my best friend didn't mind that.

I always wanted to measure up to others
To look good and carry myself well
I wanted my friends to accept me for who I was
But those painful words hurt like hell.

She started hanging with a new crowd
Blowing me off like i wasn't there
Deep inside I was burning with fire
But I acted as if I didn't care.

If she couldn't accept me for who I am
I guess her friendship I truly didn't need
I'll just face up to reality
Because I'm proud of just being me.

Then ahead there came a light
I picked my dusty self up from the ground
The flames died; the smoke gone
My hands cupped my eyes and I looked around.

The tears now were pouring like rain
So real this had seemed
Never will I hurt others with words
I don't want to live in this dream.

When really it wasn't a dream
The fire stopped, there really was a light
A voice, an angel, a spirit
They told me everything would be alright.

Always believe in God's power
Never doubt his holy word
He sent his Angels to protect and guide me
And once again blessed me with his love.

Yes, people may talk about you
Sometimes your closest friends
You just have to smile and ignore it
Fake it and pretend.

We have to erase the pain within our heart
This is what God wants us to do
Forgive those that hurt us
And he'll always pull us through.
