Fire

Tested.

Bested.

Hardly rested.

Singed and burnt,

The lessons learnt.

A pause…

Reflecting,

Inspecting,

Life neglecting.

Focusing on the fire,

Lead me to admire,

My hearts desire.

But…

So much focus,

Tends to cripple.

Consequences ripple.

I played life as a game,

But sadly missed the flame.

My name is Jesse, I am a writer. I post both poetry and mental health pieces about my own struggles and journey on my blog here: https://oneregulardad.home.blog/
