Burning Candle

Finding solutions to problems that happen today seems to be to hard to handle,

 

May I make a suggestion of burning a candle?

 

As the candle begins to burn, concentrate and try to feel,

 

Grief, anger, shame, and fear, just as long as they are real!

 

Emotions that are so strong, they jump out to you from within the burning wick,

 

So strong that this may even make you feel a little sick,

 

Nipping hungrily at your aching heart, its flame of blue and orange begins to lick,

 

Eagerly trying to find the perfect trick,

 

Your hopes are to regain some type of structure,

 

Maybe it is because you had no parents in which to lecture,

 

Responsibilities seem impossible, and decisions you make feel a little unsteady,

 

Shake it off, and get on with it already,

 

These emotions that you are feeling are not right for the path to recovery,

 

But, they will help you in finding the answers, lead you to some type of discovery,

 

Do you not see this is the point of impact?

 

Leaving you not quite knowing just how to act,

 

This is the very means to your existence,

 

Start dealing with the issues from your past to the ones that are most recent,

 

Your tears that you shed contains the sufficient power to tear down your pain,

 

Breaking it up to help you again feel that you are sane,

 

Understand that your tears are releasing all of the anger and grief,

 

Which in the long run will give you much needed relief,

 

Rebuild all that was once lost, it does not have to all be just a dream!

 

Maybe all you need to do is let off a little steam!

 

Once you have built your life around some type of structure and get rid of all the

 

manipulation,

 

You will than be able to withstand any of life's difficult situations!
