Never To Be Burned Again
You gave it.
I ate it.
You told me I had rated.
I cried.
Inside.
My tears...
I could not deny.
Elated.
When it faded.
I hated to be baited.
You tried.
To fight.
But I...
Showed my inner pride.
Never to be burned again!
Not like that and that's a fact.
I'll never let hurt begin.
Not to be a loser or a fool to bend.
You gave it.
I ate it.
You told me I had rated.
I cried.
Inside.
My tears...
I could not deny.
Elated.
When it faded.
I hated to be baited.
You tried.
To fight.
But I...
Showed my inner pride.
And I'll never be burned again.
Not like that and that's a fact.
No, I'll never let hurt begin.
Not to be a loser or a fool to bend.
No, I'll never be burned again!
Not like that and that's a fact.
