PW - Hello Poetry

I've grown accustomed to this feeling- rejection, loneliness, self preservation -it is almost comforting, like an old friend, as it slides back into my bones.

The falling rain pitter pats quietly, so quietly. It is a whispering in my ear, soft words, loving words. Singing me to my slumber, it promises me endless pleasantries. I wish the rain was you.

drip, drop.

I am told don't be loud, don't ever be angry, don't be outspoken. I am told be soft, be calm, be quiet. But I am a wildfire, I burn, I ravage. I cannot, no, I will not be just a contained, flickering flame. I refuse to be smothered, I refuse to be put out. Though I may incinerate, might leave things scorched and blackened, I am also light, I am incandescent, I am effervescent. And so I will set things aflame, watch me ignite. This is who I am. I am a wildfire. And I shall burn.

Burn

I am told don't be loud, don't ever be angry, don't be outspoken. I am told be soft, be calm, be quiet. But I am a wildfire, I burn, I ravage. I cannot, no, I will not be just a contained, flickering flame. I refuse to be smothered, I refuse to be put out. Though I may incinerate, might leave things scorched and blackened, I am also light, I am incandescent, I am effervescent. And so I will set things aflame, watch me ignite. This is who I am. I am a wildfire. And I shall burn.
