Firestarter

A temper hot as fire
She wasn't one to turn to ash and die
Like smoke from her smoldering fire
She would use the air she breathed
To slowly rise above to ignite it

So think long and hard what words you use
For she runs deeper than the eye
She'll use your words to light you up
Than dance within the flames
