Something is burning inside of me. I only get the feeling when I am true to myself. It is a feeling like no other. I wish I could feel like this all the time. But the feeling only lasts a minute when the surface starts to fade. Then, the doubt coming rushes in. So, I try to stay true to myself. Because being me is everything to me, I wouldn't say I like to hide the person. But sometimes, I have no choice. Because the inner me is on fire. It burns because it wants to come out. Now I had to turn off the fire with my tears. There is a sign of hope. The inner me wants to come out. But I must keep her hidden because I have to keep myself from the world. But when she peeks out. That is when I feel the burn in me just by expressing myself with words. The motion in me is out of control. Just like the fire inside of me. Burner inside of me. So, I tried to take out the fire with hope and dream. But my motion and feelings won't let me escape the fire. So I won't lose the best part of myself. I closed myself a long time ago. Now, my inner me burns to come out. But my doubts won't let me because I second-guess myself, just like my writing. But my inner me won't let me give up. This is who you are. So don't turn the fire out. Let her burn so you can be free. Be the person you need to be as a person. Don't let anyone turn your fire out if you feel overwhelmed with doubt. Take a deep breath and close your eyes. So the smoke gets in your eye. Because I will let myself come out. Be the person I was meant to be. So I can be me. So the fire won't turn off on me. My inner me is coming out. I won't get burned because I am being me. True to myself.
