I never allow myself to open up... Emotions flow but always get stuck What is this fire burning inside of me? I'll let it burn so all can see With the ashes I write these lines As if I'm confessing to all my crimes Lock me up for being who I am A recovering fool trying to understand Where am I supposed to be? Should I set roots and grow like a tree? Cocoon in life's womb butterfly and take flight The fire in my soul has given me sight What I've learned and come to understand Has made me evolve into who I am Poetry my water my soul be the cup Pouring from my mind as I open up
