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
