Wildfire
Updated: Jul 29, 2019
i've been pushing and pulling
against myself again
i've become both
the raft and the tsunami
a torrent of waves
crushing me
underneath
the surface
and yet
i always become
the life vest
eventually i rise
anew
refreshed
awakened
pure
it is not you
who does this
to me
it is of my own doing
or rather
undoing
you lit the match
and now I am on fire
burning
blazing
aflame
and you can never
dim my light
again
because those who only wish
to fuel their own spark
can never fully blaze
you taught me how to burn
on my own
what was once a flicker
in your eyes
is now a wildfire
ebullient and unrestrained
