I am the Flame

Life is a flame and its lit when its dark, but it will burn out.

A candle burns, in the center, sits the fire.
I sit here in thought, I am so tired.

The life I live, that isn't so pure.
The drinks I take, bring me to tears.

I know I need to change my ways.
I'd rather have God in my days.

But today, I sit in the dark all alone.
Reflecting on my life from what I've known.

It is necessary, its done me no good.
A choice to make, I know I should.

But what if I fail, and just go back to life,
The life I know, of emotional strife.

From dark to light, as days pass us by.
I shall live my life with faith before I die.

The flame in a candle sits to burn,
I am the flame, and my life shall turn.
