Ignite, Rise, Shine

we are sparklers trapped in glass jars
carrying our own lights in our cages
as the darkness of the world
perpetually tries to take us down

we need to protect ourselves with sheer shields
so that we can slowly build ourselves up
independent from external forces
and truly believing in our own essentiality

we have to hide to develop into warriors
to turn ourselves into saviors
of our own tiny beings
in this enormous, cruel world

we drop our shields one by one
swords and fire ready
being reborn to step into the flames
all set to become our own heroes

    Am amazed by the way you write poems. Just as amazing as you are.
