Maturity
Fires Burning
Consuming Life
Now he stands before the fire
Though he thought he could walk around
Now he learns that to move on
the fire must be put out
how to put the fire out
Stomp it out
Walk through it
None are right
None are wrong
To which to turn
The fire still burns
yet it is him
He is the fire
The fire he built but ignored
Now is the time
own up to the fire
put it out
Sacrifice himself and all he knows
Sacrifice is his fear
Not the fire
Only Sacrifice
To destroy it is to destroy himself
Time to begin anew
New beginnings
