The Fire Inside

A thin faded smile 
Settled on the face
Adjusting just to await fate
Crumpled within 
Hacked in between
Burdened inward
Humbled by fate  
Yet all tinted up
Crested with that defiant smile 
Gentling gulping down fate
Bemoaning the fiery flames
Razing with rage
A once serene mind
Now huffing smoking sighs
All with a straight face
While Tinkling with the plain minded
