Mother always told me
to fear the flames
Because
Even the smallest spark
It had power
Destructive and unforgiving
As the candle flickered
I knew it was true
I knew it was real
The flames
We’re mighty
But the candle so little
Showed me something
Something else
Something
No one could have told
The little flame caused something much bigger
Much more powerful
A single match
Can start a forest fire
So don’t ever tell me
Something small and unimportant
Is nothing
You may feel like nothing
You may be down
You’re feelings more powerful
It’s like
You’re so trapped
Stuck in nowhere
But you are a match
So strike
And start your wild fire
