A fiery hope

I love this. It's raw and to the point. It kindled the 60's blood and 70's rebellion in me.  

Because you have asked for honest critique, I will say I'm not too keen on the form and feel it disrupts the free flowing nature of the piece.  
The punctuation also provides a bit of disruption, like speed bumps in the road. The content is great; again, I love it.

Thank you so much!!
Means so much to me.
I agree...I need an editor.
I am admittedly unlearned in such values...So I just let it hang out..it's just art.
Thanks again.
I'm pumped you enjoyed.

With your permission, I'd like to have at this. Change nothing but the form.

I would be honored, thank you!

A fiery hope  
 
Hope is a flame  
consuming me.  
I never wanted  
a cookie cutter life.  
I wanted what my heroes had.  
I wanted to live in a bus  
and travel the earth.  
I wanted to write  
Fuck-you Letters  
to the world,  
and have it love me for doing so.  
I'd lost my hope...  
buried it long ago.  
I couldn't find it...  
but,hope is combustible,  
flammable...fortunately.  
All it took was one spark..  
to ignite me.  
A am a ball of fire...  
nothing stands before me  
that I won't burn to the ground...  
my image is of nightmare,  
and madness.  
That's just me...  
it's just who I am...  
enjoy the warmth...  
or go down in the flames...  
find your spark,  
and burn with me.  
 
I did remove a couple of commas that I didn't feel were needed.  
There are several ways you could go with form. I selected  
this one because the content, i.e. - going down in the flames.  
 
There are so many alternatives to tighten it up, yet set it free.  
This is really a fantastic write; my heroes were freedom riders too.  
I wrote Fuck You Letters to the world; I regret I never mailed them.  
I got married instead. No regrets, two great kids.  
 
Thanks for letting me play.

This looks amazing. I am so thrilled by this..You are my first editor.Believe it or not,I'm gonna tighten it up.  
Just for you.  
Maybe not always,but baby steps.  
Really it read so much better.  
Thank you

I'm on a phone...boo,right?

If you're using a phone turn it horizontal so that your formatting will be correct. Else it will be alp over the place.
