All around

me feels like everything is burning up and here I stand as if I have no care in the world.

But the truth is my world has been on fire for weeks and probably months now.

And no matter how much I tried to put the flames out it just kept spreading and now it’s unstoppable.

And all I can do is watch because I too am on fire and I know every step I take would just spread it more and more and I just can’t do that to those who have been so good to me.

So as it all burns around me and falls from the mess I now have to call my life, I hope soon he arrives and puts me out for I do more damage then I could have imagined this time around.

My fire

 Used to burn for you

Now it just burns for me.

But not as bright as before

As a lot of darkness has covered up the light in me.

Yet I know I still standout but I’m not looking for anyone to really see me

I just want to help guide others with my light and keep moving on as life keeps throwing things at me and some I catch and others just hit me but I won’t let them keep me down.

If I

were a fire

would I strongly burn all night long?

Or would I be a fire that keeps going out and makes you work to keep me going?

Would I be a calm fire that burns brightly in your fireplace?

Or would I be a fire that destroys everything I touch with no care for anything?

For I just love to burn and leave ashes in my wake.

They say

take risk 

so here I am playing with fire 

burning away the file that tells you of my past. 

It’s time for me to move on and move pass all these things 

that rock me from the core. 

Time to feel like the weight of the world is not on my shoulders anymore. 

Time to feel like a brand new me and take on the world with both hands holding on tight to the things that matter. 

Time to let go of the stress and relax for once for more than a moment.

Daily Prompt: Burn

The fire calmly burns on inside of me

As you try to make me lose control.

As you scream and shout at me like a mad person and all I do is calmly stand  in front of you.

Eventually the fire inside of you becomes too much even for you and, you explode into a nasty mess of anger.

As they clean you up, I only wish you would have stopped and calmed down for life is too short to be that out of control.

With your fire of anger, didn’t your read the manual that says the fire must be kept at bay or we all doomed.

I won’t let my fire burn out inside or explode because I will always be the calm firer that burns  by your side.

Like the fire you move me

And I wish I could say more.

As the night ends

Will I ever get another chance?

At a moment like this.
