I stand in the fire,
scorched in the blazing flames
and see the smoke rise above me.
I stand in the fire,
awaiting the unknown
and settling for what I have.
I stand in the fire,
not knowing what fate will bring me
or what destiny has in store for me.
I stand in the fire,
looking at the signs of life I still see
while accepting what is to come.
I stand in the fire,
and as I look down, I burn,
but I’m not consumed…
Because I’m in the fire from my own feet
that traveled from my heart and my soul.
I stand in the fire…
...because I’m on fire to inspire.
