Street Lights

burn marks

I'm scared
defensive
leader
opinionated
things built into
my own character
that I can't help
I'm terrified
that they'll push people away
I try my best
but I know
sometimes I get to
fiery and passionate
it's too much
I try my best
to push it down
I promise I'm trying
and I'm going to try harder
I hope I don't
burn anyone in the flame
