Burn

by bryanne.gillespie

It is because of you That I am lost it is because of you that I Have been found It is the fire that you Gave to me That heats my hot air Balloon I am floating in midair Waiting and waiting To come back down But I utilize this fire Mold it with my new found power I am new again I am free again Let me breathe again I dare you To believe in me I dare you to give me more of this wonderful beautiful Free Flame Because, honestly, Mom What else have you given me To work with?
