I believe that the condition of our souls
is what decides whether we go to heaven or hell
There are some people in existence
whose souls are charred, black
burned out by their own fire
I believe that a soul is a flame
burning brighter as you strive to achieve your goals
The flame dies when you lose yourself
Whereas it burns out its core if you wreck yourself
I believe that there are many people who have flames
that grow brighter every day as they become stronger
They are the people who walk themselves to greatness
Others let their flame die
They let the light leave their eyes
However, I believe that an extinguished flame can be relit
And although wood that has been turned to ash cannot hold a fire,
I believe that new wood can be found to light that flame
This is why that if the light is ever to leave your eyes,
I will be here to help you rebuild your fire
I believe that if you try, your flame will never die
Though if does, it can always return
I trust that my fire will illuminate the world as try to find myself
with the help of this flame that glows brighter every day
