fan the flame
1/11/13
1:00am
Sometimes I forget
the fire
that burns inside
my chest...
Every day life,
expectations,
the fog,
the complacency
that surrounds,
they all creep
into my
subconscious
and
I neglect the flame,
leaving it
a mere ember
and leaving me
numb.
But then I remember
the insatiable
fire
roaring from
the depths of my soul...
the energy,
the passion,
the potential,
the determination
betrayed by
the gleam in
my dark green
eyes...
the slight
upward curve
of my lips
only hinting
of what lies beneath..
at times
the flame
grows so strong
that
I wonder
how my small
frame will
contain it.
It is then I am
reminded
to always
remember
the fire
that lies
within...
never to take
it for granted,
and to continue
to fan the flame
until the day
it flickers
and is
extinguished.
