Fire

 Fire

Fire within hidden from sight

Pushing it down with all your might

Hiding everything behind a wall

Climbing up it, trying not to fall

Finding it hard to tear it down

Always wanting to be a clown

****

Who am I today?

That is what I say

****

Lost the version of me I know

Have I started to grow?

Always been told its my fault

Hide that pain in my vault

Being the black sheep is who I was

Tarred and feathered and covered in fuzz

Yet have tried with all my might

No matter how hard I fight

They have a way of keeping me stuck

Like a boot stuck in the much

Will I ever find my way

One day or maybe today

[Jinx's Heart]

An inspirational piece. I love the metaphors in this poem. The feeling in here is something I find somewhat easy to relate to. I like it a lot. Nice work!
