By Fire I Burn to Grow and Live

Until the fire burns itself into wisps of smoke and ash

I will live by it's light, burning myself with it.

I will live my existence by my passions, values and gifts.

Chasing a few dreams while falling into some traps,

 

It's all part of learning to be human in society:

Learning to find path with steadfast footing

And trying to accept there is no foolproof plan or map

To help you navigate each barren tundra or plentiful valley.

Only by common sense, wisdom, and excruciating growth

Will you truly learn to guard each gem of your person's worth

Gaining the most prized possession you will own: balanced maturity.
