I try to stay away from gasoline
For I am the fire
But sometimes, you just have to pour it on
To burn bright in the ever darkening world
Doing what it takes to shine
To glow, to light the darkness
Trying not to sacrifice my very soul
But light the path for those floundering in the blackness
I set myself on fire for others
I do so because that is how my passions ignite
To offer myself as light, fearlessly,
Giving, burning to offer hope
Often leaving myself in ashes
While the dark, once again, retreats to the caves
