Dear Fire Within,<\/p>\n
You only seem to activate when my buttons<\/p>\n
are pressed and a rage resurfaces from deep within.<\/p>\n
It is when you appear, I feel the people-pleasing subside.<\/p>\n
The need to run and hide.<\/p>\n
There is a power you possess that I need to obtain instead of contain.<\/p>\n
You make this life less mundane.<\/p>\n
When the burning starts and flames erupt.<\/p>\n
I fight to control the outcome of your wrath.<\/p>\n
When I really should take a moment and laugh.<\/p>\n
Fire within, you and I could become great friends.<\/p>\n
There are days I need to see through your lens.<\/p>\n
Your instinct to right a wrong.<\/p>\n
The raw emotion you release awakens the beast I long to see.<\/p>\n
Fire within, stay silent no more.<\/p>\n
Speak even if your flame trembles<\/p>\n
to tear down this fa\u00e7ade of galore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
