Fire

When the anger begins to set in, I feel as if the weight of the world rests on my shoulders.

It burns me with the fire of a thousand suns

I have to lash out

Were you there, standing behind me? Hoping for the best...expecting the worst?

You’ve been gone so long, I can scarcely remember the details of your face

In a time when acceptance was the only thing that could put out the fire, all you had was more fuel for the flame.

One day I’ll forget but now that you’ve shown your true colors

Your bright, hypocritical colors

I don’t find it necessary to forgive

I was there every time you were lost and unsure of yourself

A helping hand when those closest to you had let go

Yet you walked out on me when I was too scared to find my own way

Hating you keeps me going

The horrible things you said are a constant reminder

I’ll never stop what I’m doing to be better

There are things you’ve accomplished that I never will

Only because I’ve never wanted to

Blessings in disguise come at strange times

And the light of the truth often shines when you 

least expect it
