Flame Poem by Shaneka Taylor

There's a burn here
And a burn there
Burn on
Burn me everywhere
The flame within is the pain I feel
On and on and yet I still
I still do this
And I still do that
Keep going on and never look back
The flame within will burn forever and eternity
The flame that will forever be inside of me
So wherever it burns
God knows what I'll get in return
There's a burn here
And a burn there
So you see
The flame will never die out.
