Candle

I lit candle for the first time in months
watching the wax melt away
just wishing my cares would go with it
light flickering
casting its shadow on the wall behind
I just want to hide away in it

One solo candle
Four wicks on another
just like me
seperating myself from the world
standing calmly watching the dance

the flame quiet watches
all the comotion from the others
trying to learn it all 
Not acting or even making a motion
not wanting to make a mistake

The one sheilded from the wind
watching the others torn to shreds
but envy sets in
It wants to dance to
wanting to be something its not

the wind blows out the light
lifting the smoke to the sky
the embers of the one are still glowing
with a quick blow it comes back alive
this one stronger than the rest

Strength is what held it together
wind tore them apart
Hiding from the world 
Gave it some hope
And it still remains
