Creative Fire

They tell you to be yourself, but when you are different, they shun you

They tell you to use your creative spirit, but when they don't agree with what you do, they strive to dampen your fire

They are the true oxymorons of society, with more emphasis on -morons than -oxy

But, once your fire has been lit, there is no going back

Not when they tell you to stop

Not when they protest and begin to fight dirty

Not even when they scream and shout and holler and scare the living daylights out of you

Your fire cannot be dampened

And it never will be
