PUPPET TO FEAR
What are you afraid of?
What are your attachments?
Failure teaches us resilient
Failure teaches us to go on
Loving someone too much and the feeling of losing them forever.
Changes happen every day
We cannot stay too long in our comfort zone
We have to face the Jungle sooner or later
Struggles are not permanent
Fear is there, but used it to be safe in a healthy way.
Be kind to yourself and show compassion
My biggest fear is not living up to others' expectations
That is why I was a puppet to my fears
( My mom expected me to be smart. Everyone I am close to wants me to be healthy and act like a young person. My body sometimes deceives me, or am I not taking care of it properly enough?)

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

Love how you laid it all out! Fear, expectations, and the struggle to be kind to ourselves—it's all there, and so relatable. You really captured the inner battle in a way that hits home!
