I see a world on fire,
rejected by a higher power.
the citizens are slaves
for the masters to devour.
the layer of smoke
covering my eyes,
the blaze reflecting in them,
gasps and bitter sighs.
it's too late for me—
get back, stay away!
I cannot die twice,
but my soul longs to stray.

Hayleigh, this has major urgency. Youโve caught both the scale of collapse and the intimate costโฆthe smoke in the eyes, the soul ready to break away. Itโs raw, direct, and it lands hard. Well done, my friend. ๐น๐ค๐๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฆโโฌ
