poetry, candle flame
I feel like a candle flame
flickering in the breeze
do I have too much oxygen
or did I forget to breathe?
I feel like a candle flame
holding my wick by gentle hand
burning brightly, ever slightly,
melting the wax on which I stand
I feel like a candle flame
lighting the way for all around
but as the candle weeps and weeps
I worry I'll burn it to the ground
I feel like a candle flame
a fire dancing with immortal zest
but should I look around myself
the wick, the wax, my hourglass,
I lay myself down now to rest.
25, she/he/they/it
