My Grandpa always calls me warm
He says I'm happy, confident
That I am who I am

Truth be told
I don't think I'm any of those things

I'm not warm
I'm scalding, brazen
I consume
Everyone I come near bursts into flames
Everything I touch turns to ashes

And like ashes
I let the wind guide me
I wouldn't say I'm fickle, no
I'm fluid

I affect life as much as it affects me
The only genuine thing in me
Is that I don't know who I am
