FIGHT FIRE WITH LOVE


As young boy violence consumed me,

almost ruined me,

sent me spiraling down.

I put out what was put in.

Made no sound out of fear.

Fear of my feelings.

Fear from within. 

All the while a fire grew inside me.

Before long i was burnt,

unintentionally hurt,

seting flames to everything around me.

You reap what you sow.

You cant fight fire with fire,

so ill let nothing but love surround me,

fix me.

Its seems love has finally found me.

Before i grow old and tire,

i will always use love to fight fire.
