The fire within,
a powerful force
Able to destroy and
to mend
My ego
in fearful tricks,
tries to make it bow

This fiery force
makes my ego go for
a smile
-Hide the fire and
let it go
At least don’t let it show

The fire within,
my truth to live
Is not to be hid,
in fear and
illusion
There to be real,
to act,
in this now

The strength of fire,
a life to be
Not quenched,
by false pretense
May I listen,
hold it gently
In contemplation,
refine it
Then let it flow
