I feel the fire in your heart, it's the most beautiful kind of art

Your desire for more fire, you want to be held higher

But your a liar

You deny what you feel inside

That part of you that died

What if I was by your side

Would you still hide

Or would you strive

Would you let me thrive

Or would you set fire to me

Like you did to yourself

You're the flame thats bound to burn

" A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, or because everything she does is golden. A writer is a writer because, even though there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." - Junot Diaz<br /> <br /> " Overnight Success is almost a myth. Half of this industry is luck, and half is the refusal to quit" - Victoria Schwab
