I see the fire in your eyes
Forged from
life's trials
A defiance
A determination
to take on
anything in your path
and win

The fire that
permeates your whole being
gives you

meaning
reason
passion
hope
companionship

with the lost

a pact
down the path
where
meekness is weakness
defiance is respect
where black is white
or anything
you make it
The World According to You

This fire
your funeral pyre
ablaze
for an eternity
