Embers

O the fire within us that burns bright

The feelings within us that burn bright

So bright we struggle to control their might

We feel the tongues of the fire reaching out

Feelings to our arms and tongues take a rout

We cannot help but jump around or shout

Is this what it means to be human?

If so what does it mean when my fire is distinguished

I can feel the burning embers but all I feel are burns

A lifeless fire that do not dance or yearns

Embers that burn hotter than fire but no water can stop their burns
