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
