Burn

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅโšก๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Time And Time You Tried to Burn Me

To Bring Me Down And Make Me Fail

Never Fear, I Still Burn Brightly

My Fire Laughs As I Hear You Wail

๐Ÿ”ฅโšก๐Ÿ”ฅ

You Know My Fire Will Always Burn

Never Be Reduced To Embers

To Every Challenge I Will Turn

And Your Kindness, I Remember

๐Ÿ”ฅโšก๐Ÿ”ฅ

Now See My Flame Still Burning Bright

My Stories Will Forever Be

Fiery Talent Lights Up The Night

It's There For Everyone To See

๐Ÿ”ฅโšก๐Ÿ”ฅ

Every End's A New Beginning

Fire's Renewed, I Keep On Winning

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅโšก๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

    We all have the 'fire' to live our lives. It's just the way we choose to live it that matters to us and whomever. Great work.
