Burn

by flightlessdragonfly

I am a fire. I burn bright and I burn loud. I will not let you extinguish me, I will not let you blow me out. I am the light that helps so many to see, so many to feel safe. I will not let you take me from them. I will not sway, I will not flicker. I will burn everything in my way. I ask that you either feed the flame, or run and hide. Because god knows I'm not going to go away any time soon.
