Fire Within


Dear self,

I wrote you this letter.

There's a burning fire in your soul.

Wild embers dance frantically,

around your indecisivly beautiful mind.

Though society may try to estinguish your flame

you've grown bolder and more firey.

With this new found strength live:

explore the world,

capture moments, 

dance as if no one is watching,

eat exotic foods,

and LIVE.

Your being has been contained.

Society has told you to conform to the norms.

But you my beauty are not normal ,

average, nor ordinary.

You are the fire underneath the ocean ,

impractical and "impossible".

I want you to acknowledge everything you are 

and can be.

Because you have a fire within.

I adore you,

Self
