I am the Fire
I Am the Fire
I’m am the flame. I am tumultuous fire. Mama said I can be all I desire. I am full of unspent energy and unawakened dreams. I thank my mom for giving me the courage to believe that I can achieve anything. She taught me that the secret to life is delusion and I can choose which life I want to believe in.
I’m a poet and I slam poetry powerfully like the Texas summer heat. I’m a singer and I will sing like a siren in smoke filled bars full of broken dreams. I’m a writer and I will publish many stories. I’m a mother and I mentor little warriors…
I strive for a life of light but I'm not afraid of the dark
I’m a coach and I cheer from the sidelines because I’m here to respect your vision as long as we are working for a world filled with love and compassion.
I’m a healer and I will sooth your pain. I’m also a warrior so step wrong and I will make it rain. I strive for a life of light but I’m not afraid of the dark. I’ve ridden on the backs of my demons striking my whip in victory and now the devil can’t fuck with me.
I…am…the…fire.
