POETRY

Express the mess to release the stress! Writing to, from, and about the parts within.

The Candle Burns

The candle burns
Giving light
Giving warmth

By fulfilling its function
It destroys itself
By destroying itself
It serves others

The candle burns
Sacrificing itself
For us

This poem is from the book A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken
