Sometimes I’m alright

I live in a cave
Deep in the woods
In your heart
And it’s hard to leave
And face up to myself
In the light
Outside of your safe darkness

Sometimes I’m alright
Another time it’s hard to tell
Like finding light
In the bottom of the darkest well
But you asked me

I’m a slow moving fire
That burns cool and low
Throws no light
And causes no fear
And is barely there at all
Except in my
Potentiality

Sometimes I’m alright
Another time it’s hard to tell
Like finding light
In the bottom of the darkest well
But you asked me

We all share a soul
A light to light the heart
And it’s hard
When someone douses the flame
But it never goes away
No matter what anyone will say
You will rise
And deserve to do so
