Burning Up

The will to be happy 

To be sad,

The want to live

Or to die.

You stand the chance

To lose it all,

A shade in the sun

Water in the fall.

You take a break

Make a pause,

Remember to breathe

Without a cause.

Life flickers on

A candle in the wind,

And moments melt away

Holes within.

The light will fade

Slow and sure,

The dark alone

Left so pure.

Find yourself

Before the pain,

Or be forever lost

Like tears in the rain.
