It burns, but they marvel as I dance on fire.

Oh, what an exchange for the price I pay.

There's an ugly truth to the game I play.

Great poem written to form. I missed not seeing the idiom included. I only had room for 10 places in the premium contest of 35 entries. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your work!
