Big Flame

I saw a big flame few days ago,

a blasting red as I walked down my path

Although, it wasn't exactly within my path

I could visit that flame and try to extinguish it


But you see, the flame was too big

and my hand is still burnt from my previous encounter with tiny flames

I've decided, some flames aren't mine to extinguish

I didn't have enough power for that


Do you know why this flame bother me?

There are people around the flame

Doing everything and anything but not extinguish it

Screaming, yelling, blaming - even trying to murder one and another

And of course, the flame got bigger - fights are its favorite meal


Some people aren't lucky enough to listen to the beating soul in their heart

The one that will save them from danger, 

whether it's from their own stupidity or caused by others

Like the one that I have, I took care of him as he took care of me as well


Only if you listen, closely to the whisper of your God and soul

you'll know how to extinguish those flames

I've learned, and I'm glad for listening well


After that flame accident, I went into a cave yesterday. It reminds me of a certain feeling as I went in and noticed this thing that blocked my path.

It was pain and chaos 

in a form of webs but in the disguise of a fog

It looks like a bunch of thick air and droplets of water

however when you touch it--

It'll strangle you, irritate you, and annoy you

it sticks in you, contagious

like a get-off-of-me feeling

and the sad part is, it's out of your control

a natural phenomenon, something beyond your control

It wasn't something that you can get rid of


sometimes it'll whisper to you,

"you'll die, you'll fail, you'll be miserable"

like chanting thoughts that you ever heard before

but I've grown up, I went through a long path

it's been a while since that day back in the 'Queen's Chamber'


I'm filled with anger, and you know how I look when I'm angry

overwhelming silence filled the air, the webs eventually give in

I literally just treat them like they don't even alive

an unworthy being to be even noticed


Just like the flame, this webs isn't mine either

That's why; it's not something that I'd sit down with and talk

They're a similar kind with the 'Queen' 

a toxic being, evil almost


It's been a long story, isn't it?

I've made out of the cave alive, don't worry

Remember those flowers that I tell you before?

I've planted it in the cave

this path was mine to take, a special one

and I have to do what I do

the flowers will light up, and the goodness in life will be remembered
