fire

burning out of necessity
goal is always the same
to see it through, to see it true
prove it out until there's no doubt
that what you do, what you pursue
and this life you've construed as a route that only you can take
well, there's no mistake that the flames you've left behind
will reach high, and take your smoldering message to the sky,
until all will know the reason why you did not give up and die
burnished by flames, kindled by pain inflicted by those who hate
by those who wait for the moments to berate you into your incensed state
that place, where the goal is always the same, where you embrace the pain
and change the game
only char will remain
