Furiously Bri

I was a small flame, fighting to burn

But was always doused by doubt

You’re too sensitive, you’re too anxious

I’m moving forward despite the thoughts

Pressed into my head by those who should have lit me up

Set my passions ablaze, nurtured the fire within me

Eventually I turned to ashes

Slumbered in the cold

No direction, no idea who I was anymore

I woke up one day, the flame sparked again, not fully lit

I saw a light hold out his hand

I touched it, hot as the sun

Lift me from the ashes

A phoenix I’ve become

Blazed with passions, feelings I never knew

Wanting to help people was a feeling that grew

Creating, singing, writing, and more

The strength I feel is unheard of, amazing

I see a version of myself I only dreamed of as a kid

Someone who despite all troubles inside

Strives to help others live while wanting to be alive

I will use my wings to lift up others

And set those ablaze who only want to kill us and each other

We are stronger in numbers

We are loved when we love harder

It does not matter what holds us back

As long as we have support pushing us forward

Share your flames with others

And the world will burn brighter
