One month of not knowing what to do.
Two months of having a plan
and nothing in to show.
Three months of showing the world
what I can do and
where I can go.
Four months of having the flames
speak for themselves
while others chuckle
stocking higher shelves.
Five months of bringing new
fire into a world that does not
appreciate my daily task
and to be brushed away
underneath my plastic mask.
Six months where people have
told me I am not worth
the time or effort
to help
only to show them that I am the perfect
man for this job.
Seven months of work that have culminated
into the life in which
young fires have begun
to take the similar steps that
even I once thought
were too much
to be bought.
Two thirds of my year spent
wishing to prove my bent
mind was more
than what others can.
I have evolved past the awful
parts and the grime is gone.
Even as a man
I strive to be the one.
Three quarters of a year and love
of passion of myself
has turned me into the worst
No least desirable person
I could have become.
Yes I want more Yes I am
A human torch that burns
so that others may find light
In this world of darkness.
Ten months and I fall.
Forward into the life I desperately
do not need want.
I am the first and I will
Fling myself down desperately
For I shall not want.
My life has taken off
Fishing away and desperately
Pulling for want.
I have become a monster who desperately wants.
One month before and I am dying.
I want to show I am better at dying.
I care for those who have not
been cared for.
I burn for those who have not
been burned.
Away I tell myself push away.
Bringing a new life pushed away.
I have become the cared for
by those who care.
I have become the burned by
those who have been.
This is the end of myself.
12 Months of torture for this moment.
