Through the Fire
You may have to go it alone
Bear the heat and discomfort on your own
It can be devastating and suffocating
No fresh air to breathe, only heat and smoke which are debilitating
But peace and clarity you'll find
If you push through and do not resign
The burns and wounds may be severe
But will you keep going? Can you persevere?
Despite all the cumulus smoke
If you can keep peering and not choke
If you can still aspire...
Amid the sweltering heat from the fire
If you can keep moving through it
There is a beautiful place for you if you just don't quit
