A fire within


standing

towering over

teacher looking down

why are you failing?

student, what is going on?

she doesn't want to hear it

nobody likes to hear the dark truth

the truth is fire, burning everything around me

eating away the world in which i find peace

spitting out cinder. leaving a dark, charred, dead forest

<p>This poem isn&#39;t just about one cause. It&#39;s dedicated to everytime I went through a life struggle. Everyone faces diffrent problems, they face them individually. But every true trial burns.</p>
