Just Like A…
Standing upright burning bright
Hard on the outside but broken in
My flames brighten your darkened nights
Too hot to handle, but I cave within
Tears running down my cheeks
Drying fast but to be seen
My weakness slowly seeps
But still standing elegant and clean
At times I just crumble over
At times I’m just blown away
My purpose served moreover
Glad to brighten your dark day
My soul shall always be quivering
Just like a lonely candle flickering
