Through the Fire

A poem about what comes from and enduring change

When change comes
It can be difficult
Like walking through fire

This is especially true
When you have no control
Over said change

Your mind focuses too much
And time slows to a crawl
Making the fire last longer

Your body feels unwell
Like you have bugs in your skin
And flames in your kidneys

Your soul feels different
All empty and sad
Like the embers have burned out

But with friends and family
You can always endure
Keep yourself burning bright
