As I hold the lighter
Closer to my eyes,
Keeping my finger close,
I wait until it gets too hot.
And keep it there,
Til my skin blisters
And even still.
I try to make me feel
The heat on my face.
When I play with fire,
I remind myself
That I could easily
Be swept away,
Just like the wind
Puts out the fire.
