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

I Wonder
I wonder
If my role here
Is to sacrifice myself
For others
No one
Gets out alive
So why not give
What I have?
Perhaps
In doing so
I’d find
My purpose
I wonder
If my role here
Is to sacrifice myself
For others
No one
Gets out alive
So why not give
What I have?
Perhaps
In doing so
I’d find
My purpose
