Ember

A short 'self help' inspiring piece of poetry.

I’ve figured it out. I’m an ember.

Sometimes I light up, sometimes I burn bright

Theses are the times I have to remember

When I’m burning low I need to fight

to keep up my glow, the burn,

It will guide me through this night

of darkness that surrounds my concern

for who I am and who I might

become. I will be trampled

they will put out my light

at least they can try

they can’t destroy my sight

for they will spill out lies

things might seem tight

but you must rise

above. Know what is right.

Got to keep burning. 

Keep glowing.

Keep up the fight.
