I am Poem
I am that Fiery Flame that cannot be extinguished 
 I walk to the sound of my own beat
  I wonder off through the deep corners of my intricate mind
 Trying to discover my next move before it’s too late and I run out of time
 I hear the whispers drifting the through the midst of the night 
 Silently telling me to soar to the highest peak for my next flight and never look back
 Yet I see the pillars of my life falling back
 So I can grasp hold of the chance to stand-alone
 I want to take to the world by storm and dive into the River of Destiny
 I am that butterfly, roaming freely through Transparent Heavens
 Getting away, getting away. 
 Because I am that Fiery Flame that cannot be extinguished 
 I pretend to embody no one
 But the Enchantress that I was meant to be
 I feel His arms embracing mine, like armor protecting me from the Gates of Hell
 I touch the souls of the oblivious who believed they stand for nothing
 I worry nothing, for doubts are the only spectacles that poison the mind 
 Generating fear, allow the coldness of inadequacy to marinate
 I cry and weep for those who do not understand that life is like Chess
 Every movement you make marks your future; temptations may lure you to make a false move, and pitfalls may be cover so you can’t see, then you stumble and plummet, but sometimes all it takes is sacrifice. 
 I am that soldier waiting for the last battle, bruised and wounded, but still showing no sign of defeat
 Because I am that fiery flame that cannot be extinguished
 I understand life should be lived consciously 
 But I say ride it until the wheels fall off
 Let fear not lead you astray
 I dream of the Sun melting away the layers of dismay
 I try to embrace the imperfections broadcast for the World 
 Because my essence is the only thing that is the makeup of me
 I hope I walk through a road witnessing faces painted with smiles and laughter 
 I am that light who will guide myself through Mystery Boulevard 
 I may face obstacles, I may even fall, but when things are all said and done, I will be the one standing tall
 Because I am that Fiery Flame that cannot be extinguished.
