I Light My Candle From Within Contest

I light my candle from within,
Deep in my heart is where it begins,
                          
Igniting passion, adoration, and devotion,
Its luster penetrates through any form of commotion,
                                      
Darkness has to flee,
When this fire burns in me,
                                      
Shades of gray must depart,
When the intensity of this fire starts,
                               
I light my candle from within,
For who I am is far beyond my skin,
            
Overpowering impressions can be seen past any person’s lies,
For the gate way to the soul is through the opening of ones eyes.
