According to Flame

My life was lived according to flame
that could glisten so bright
but at times was hard to tame.
In order to feel no fright, I had to fight
or feel shame of who I became.

To claim the love of others, you must aim
to do what’s right and then hold them tight
because you never know when the flame will claim.
I promise you that if you stay true, you will be at a height
that will bring great fame but the kind that is not a game.

If you are ever set aflame, stay all the same
for life is supposed to bite even at what is white.
Don’t say good night for remember the claim
you took on those who you held tight
who believe your defame as a con game.

In the end, keep your place name
in the light that glistens so bright
because although the flame has come to claim
you can sit tight knowing you won this fight
living your life according to flame.
