I am a candle - a poem

I am a candle that you have tried

with all your might

to stamp right out.

and sliced my throat for the thousandth time

but one bright night

she'll light me up

and I will shine again as bright!

In vicious battle

of dark and right,

life won today

and took what's mine

it smothered me,

and trampled me

-- left me for trash...

ripped out my heart,

it's not a wound,

but blazing gash...

Yet,

I am a candle,

Phoenix of ash

I’ll rise right up

with all his might

will shine anew, just as bright!
