When I was younger, I told my mother I wanted to be a firewoman. I couldn't have been older than five, she says.
And sometimes I see it, why my little head wanted to put our fires and pat the coughs out of everyone's chest. I was so used to my mother scooping me up and wiping the dust from my shoulders when I needed it the most. But I feel like its been a long time since someone's rushed to get me out of any fires. When you get it older its harder to admit to needing someone, it's a lot less attractive to cry when you just miss someone. And its harder to get away with saying, "I dont know" when you really do. I'd like to make a recording of saying that I respect anyone who taken the time to save someone from their own fire. For anyone who's wanted to save someone who didnt deserve it, you are few and far between.
