We are a kindled flame
From the day that we were born

Burning courage
Fuels of hopes and dreams

Speckles of optimism
Hearts of compassion

Minds of intelligence
Ingenuity
and Creativity

Bodies of steel

Unbreakable willpower

We are a beacon of light

But as time goes on

That flame flickers

and dies

And then it takes over

A douse of doubt is all that it needs

Until it overcomes you

That is the power of fear

For it, nothing is unbreakable

That burning flame

will soon turn into a remnant of what it was

For even the brightest of lights
will cease to exist

But the embers that remain

will soon create another light

brighter than it was before

To continue its purpose

To continue the cycle

For that is the circle of life
