Ember


When you see me

my light is very dim

i'm a nobody an extra

that youll  always see in films

i'm the product of a bigt flame

we all burn the same

except I go out quicker cause my light is made of shame

I know i'll never be as bright as a campfire

cause my life is very short

i'm walking on a thin wire

a whether or not if I go out

is not how I should be defined

This light is mine and only mine!

we maybe from the same fire

but I am an ember 

I can but and set things on fire

and maybe just maybe

I can burn even brighter than the flame that I came from

and for some it's a dream

but for me it's a reality

this ember will become the thing it wants to be

A fire.

So the first time you'll see me i'll be floating

in thin air

and once I touch the ground i'll burn everywhere

When that day comes I won't be the same

I'LL BE THE FIRST EMBER TO BURN AS BRIGHT AS A FLAME.
