A fire burns within
Each flame igniting desires
For a passion I must pursue
Broiling my blood, searing every fiber
I once questioned why it chose me
Tried to fend it off for good,
But birth dealt me as a dreamer
Persistent imagination into adulthood
These words consist of power
Its control bestowed upon the unique
The responsibility of my talent
To share what others sincerely seek
Commitment and dedication
Discipline and sleepless nights
Believing in something bigger
Triumphant against all plights
As strength endures heartache
And my will to succeed prevails
My words shield me from naysayers
Because not everyone understand what my path entails
