My Flame
August 2, 2023
Bright, fiery, enlightening, kindling flames
They catch my attention
As I move through the moments of my day
Heated, angry
Yet also motivating, inspiring
A source of light
Days can ignite a fire in my spirit
One that is willing and eager to take risks
And achieve excellence and success
But they can also ignite anger and heat
Heat enflamed in my spirits
From distress, confusion
But I move along
Embracing this flame
It is excited and doused at certain times
A certain drive, a certain anger
I’m careful to not let anyone douse my flame
Because what would be a day
Without this unyielding flame
This extreme and noticeable flame

We all have a flame-- whether that be driven by our passion, personality, goals, hopes, and dreams... the list goes on. I picked two types of flame I experience most often and defined the difference betwene the two two while simultaneously connecting them as one. Although they each affect my life differently, they both matter because they make me fully myself.
