Flame 🔥

I thought I was light
A happy brightness from a candle
Giving hope to ones who need it
The ones in the dark
Turns out I'm the flame
The flame of a candle with no wax
The fire that is out of control
Try to control it
Try to calm it

But!
you can't stop a wild fire from spreading
If the area is to dry
Don't touch me!
I might burn you
With words I don't mean to say
Impulsiveness controlling me!
Every single action!

So...
I don't speak
I dont yell
I may act sun shiny
Bright smile, all happy
Every is fine laugh
Hopeful talk
Playful walk
But I'm afraid
Cause I don't wait to burn you
I don't want to hurt you
So I bit my tongue
And lie

Air, water, earth
Act like you are any of them!
Because I was taught to put others
Before my self
And not let them see who you are

Collect my tears
Put Out of the lier
Before I start a forest fire 🔥
