Embers of Passion
embers burning, deep inside
embers burn, fire must hide
gurgling like hot lava deep
find a way, passion to keep
–
feelings tied up, they’re not free
pressures pressing upon me
care too much, must learn to cope
dousing truth’s embers with hope
–
Turn off news. don’t like to hear!
Fate of this world I hold dear.
Terrible news drives me mad!
Do not focus, on the bad.
–
hope facade, but feelings true
can’t control what others do
learn to cope, be in control
fire burning, play a role
–
proactively setting course
above reproach, no remorse
work hard, keep embers alive
control environs I strive
–
Do not tell me what to do.
How I should act, who are you?
Don’t criticize my actions.
Look at own imperfections.
–
above reproach, actions take
a life of perfections make
not because I am so great
but for rebukes to abate
–
passions bound, will not set free
learned to cope with being me
care too much, need close my eyes
hiding where fantasm lies.
