Congratulations you found some brush and twigs to make a fire
You thought it was difficult enough to make the fire but keeping it lit is the real work
Cold winds dance and sing through the night sky
Doubt
It comes from the expected and unexpected, it tries to take your light
Your passion, struggle, fight
Sometimes we let them win
We can’t help it
Our fire goes out
Those who are brave enough throw themselves into the fire
Abandon all kindling and wear your flame
Let your passion consume you
Persevere
Let the fire spread
Make the stars look at you in envy.
