Open Heart

her and her people

the village is on fire again
we thought we were resilient
used to the spiteful words
but coming from the Earth herself
i'll use the burning tree to light
a cigarette
and forget how much she despises us
the fractures she left on her body
how many times has the gardens died
how many times has the ocean dried
how many times have we cried
but we can't give up on her
she's all we have and
we're all she has
at the end of the day
i hope you learn to love yourself one day
