A Little Fire Inside Me

By Saketh Vaddadi

A little fire burns inside of me,

Determination, grit and restlessness,

A lonely and fickle mind,

Dreams of touching the sky,

But filled with nothing but sympathy for one's self.

A gentle breeze enough to put it all out

Only to crawl back into a perfectly safe shell

And not see the light or day

Awaiting forever for a match by chance again

To light it all up

And the breeze to blow it all out again

A victim like no other

Battles like none have fought

And a character no longer visible in the mirror

That's how the mind sees it all

One step forward and ten steps back

It's all nothing but a perfect little dance

All the way to a very own doomsday
