You can’t make fire feel afraid
But I am afraid for you
As I am filled with embers
You can’t drown out
No matter how much you try to fill me with doubt.
Your words are like gusts of wind
Like gushing gasoline
You do not drown me out
You wind me up
Reminding me of why I have a fire within me.
I know too much of this world
Its’ nasty people
And their horrible words
Trying to mute mine
Trying to take my existence
And drown me out.
But like a fire on a cold winters night
You can still hear
Especially with a keen ear
The fire crackle and pop
With all that I have to say
About what is right
And with all my might
This fire will not stop.
