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 that is debilitating The burns and wounds may be severe But will you keep going? Can you persevere? Despite all the cumulous smoke If you can keep peering and not choke If you can still aspire Amid sweltering heat from the fire If you can just keep going through it There is a beautiful place for you if you don't quit
