My candle

Location

My mind is a candle 

Inside a whirlwind of thought

I have bright insights

But there clouded in darkness

I try to be happy

But can't see the light 

 

I try to keep my candle lit

But there's no end to wind in sight

I reach for cover to keep it lit

I try to hide it away

But my candles been blown out

And it just can't be relit 

 

It's not been burnt out

It's only just been lignited

Only To be extinguished 

As fast as it started to burn
