Our Fire

Our Fire

A Poem by Aerra

Our Fire
Too many times we've misplaced our own self worth from the acceptance of people's projected insecurities.
We take what we learn from the paradigm shaped beyond the looking glass and form it as our inevitable reality.
As these shadows of doubt quickly infect our being with their parasitic capability, 
we will find ourselves trapped in a whirlpool of hatred and self-loathing.
BUT REMEMBER! That deep within that essence you call a soul,
is a light that shines so damn bright from the projection that is you.
Don't let the miasma of the world's condescension be what drags you down,
in the end of it all we're each just trying to earn our own actualization. 
Take a moment to step outside yourself and understand what you see.
We've survived every last hit and every last tear shed.
That reflection you saw of yourself, is the divide that separates love from conformity.
