Today my name is fire Burning taller than oak trees; I started when a little spark had caught a little breeze. I’m burning hot, very mad ‘Cause they told me to cease; But they can’t stop me , nor control me; No animal would dare come near me. Now that I am water, I’m calm as calm can be; I flow on down the river ‘till I reach the calm vast sea. Healing, calming, life giving Are things that I perform; Though soothing aches is easer When my heart is warm. Now they call me air And I’ll say this to you; You just may not see me here But you see what I can do. Cooling, moving, breath taking When I am fairly light; But when I’m confused, spinning ‘round It’s a very tragic sight Now I go by earth, And right here’s where I’ll stay; I’ll stand right here, high, rough and tough Every single day. I’m hard to move, you can’t shift me, Not one teeny, tiny bit; You can’t deal with a stubborn rock That’s had a little fit. So for the future you should know To never ever try me ‘Cause you may never ever know Which element I might be Mad as fire, stubborn rock Or water, calm and still Free as air you never know The way that I feel #2_ 2011

The Way That I Feel
Today my name is fire Burning taller than oak trees; I started when a little spark had caught a little breeze. I’m burning hot, very mad ‘Cause they told me to cease; But they can’t stop me , nor control me; No animal would dare come near me. Now that I am water, I’m calm as calm can be; I flow on down the river ‘till I reach the calm vast sea. Healing, calming, life giving Are things that I perform; Though soothing aches is easer When my heart is warm. Now they call me air And I’ll say this to you; You just may not see me here But you see what I can do. Cooling, moving, breath taking When I am fairly light; But when I’m confused, spinning ‘round It’s a very tragic sight Now I go by earth, And right here’s where I’ll stay; I’ll stand right here, high, rough and tough Every single day. I’m hard to move, you can’t shift me, Not one teeny, tiny bit; You can’t deal with a stubborn rock That’s had a little fit. So for the future you should know To never ever try me ‘Cause you may never ever know Which element I might be Mad as fire, stubborn rock Or water, calm and still Free as air you never know The way that I feel #2_ 2011
Sometimes you can get so angry or frustrated you just want to, well, scream. And then there are those times you're so happy and you feel so limitless you just want to scream some more.
