Evolution of a Flame (Long Poem)

I'm a blazing bonfire,

beautiful and bold.

I am myself.

Then the cold comes,

the cold-hearted insults.

Now I'm a campfire.

warm and comforting.

I am less of myself.

Then the wind comes,

the whispers of hurt.

Now I'm a torch,

light and easy.

I am half of myself.

Then the rain comes.

Tiny droplets of hate.

Now I'm a flame,

barely existing and feeble.

I am hardly myself.

Then the people come,

and destroy me completely.

Now I am nothing.
