Life is Like Fire

Emotions are like a campfire
You try to cover it with wood
But true feeling is in the burning coals

You cannot touch it
So you try to cover it
But it will only burn brighter

Sometimes I wonder where my emotions go
So I look to the coals
Sometimes you may find me staring at the ashes

But these ashes are important ashes
Some of these ashes may belong to my father
Some may also belong to my grand father

But if there is one thing I have learned,
It is
Life doesn't wait for the weak
You have to keep striving for what's in you

It doesn't have to be anything big just enough
Life is like a roller coaster it goes up and down
Has a twist that can destroy you or make you

But you and only you can change that
That is why I am sitting here in this chair
I don't want to be normal I want to make a change
