The fire within me

Burns at a low flame

I keep it there

For safe shelter

The heat provides my soul warmth

Its light illuminates my journey

Though I walk around looking for something

To extinguish

I am distinguished

Every one senses this heat

Attempts to beat

Steal

Defeat

Extend to treat

Excite or

Dull

My influence

To electrify

Multiply

My fire extends

To those in need

Dissolving tears

At times suffocating

from our steam

blazing fears

Watching it all fade

Bringing you to tears

Of joy and release

I walk around with this fire

Some that surround benefit from

Its light, heat and power

Others have turned to ash

Though I have burned myself from its force

Flames do not coerce
