When the Hat is On Fire
When the Hat is on Fire!!!
Liar!!! Liar!!! liar!!! this Hat is on Fire
that means the elevation took me higher
every step turns into spotlight
because fire demands attention. I'm here to inspire,
to the weak, forgettable, and boring this your end retire.
The Heat rising off my crown, not burning me, forging me
This fire don't destroy it reveals. Reveals the bold walk
Reveals the lifted chin, Reveals the power I stopped hiding under polite introductions.
When the Hat is on fire, rooms feel it.
Air shifts, eyes follow, and energy makes space.
The blaze dances with every tilt, sparks falling like applause
with each turn of my head. I don't try to put it out. Why should I.
Now, when I place my hat on, it remembers. Remember the heat I endured.
Remembers the battles I outgrew. Remembers the moment I chose to stop shrinking.
When the hat is on fire, I don't walk careful, I walk crowned in combustion.
Because the fire ain't danger, it's arrival. The fire didn't start on the hat, it started in me.
The Hat just carries the flame. I'm not burning out, I'm not burning up, I'm burning bright.
Proof that everything meant to dim my flames, only taught me how to burn brighter!!!!
Liar!!! Liar!!! Lair!!! this hat is eternally on fire!!!
