The fire within, it burns so bright, A burdened soul, seeking flight Away from pain, away from strife Yearning for a different kind of life
Without the needles' sting, the numbing, the shocks and tremors; a new thing, A life where hope and love abide, Where thoughts of suicide subside.
Yet still the fire rages on, A battle fought but never gone, A war within, a constant fight For a glimmer of hope, for the light.
The fire is both friend and foe, A warmth that soothes, a flame that grows; It burns with an intensity so great That it threatens to seal one's fate.
But deep within, a light still gleams A spark of hope, a flicker of dreams; The fire may rage, but hope survives And with it, a chance for a new life.
