My World

By Preeti Arra

What has happened to my world

I watch as the flames touch the sky

This doesn't feel like home

I search every corner of the globe

For remains of my former safe house

What has happened to my world

I would rather be covered in snow

Than be scorched by this glow

This doesn't feel like home

Sticks and stones im tempted to hurl

But then I'd be a stupid girl

What has happened to my world

Collecting water I'll never throw

Cause that'll drive out the warmth in a blow

This doesn't feel like home

I've learnt to tiptoe around the fire

And I get burnt every once in a while

What has happened to my world

This doesn't feel like home
