The Candle
My family is a lit candle
Crackle, Pop!
My brothers
The wax that oozes down
With a drip
Me, I am the fire
Who can have bursts of rage at times
And can become crazy
Crackle, Crackle, POP!
My Dad, the wick that stays away
But coming out to be there for
Me and my brothers
My Mother
The dish that holds the wax
In the process getting burned and scarred
With past pains
We are a
Candle
