You start it all with just a spark
the mimicry of beating hearts
that casts away sight of star.
You start of as a small light
that caught ignition by ignited
spirits muddled in chemistry.
You raise yourself higher
hoping that flames alight skies
as the skyward gleams off
the clouds.
You brace yourself with
the burning self doubt
and the hatred impaled
towards your own soul.
So burn yourself hotter
try to light yourself brighter
because the hotter you burn
the faster you fade
and in your final wake,
know that someone
will slowly but surely
take your place.
