Ring of Fire

Ring Of Fire
Have you ever felt that you life is somewhat similar to a ring of fire?
Afraid to move forward
Take chances and step in
Afraid it will build around you
Enveloping you in a dark
smoke
filling up your lungs
Causing you to cough
violent fits of rage
So that this burden will
leave you but
it continues to burn
until all you see
are the remains of
damage
a pile of ashes
but you realize soon
after that the only
way to alleviate the pain
that is left behind
is to pick up the pieces
and rebuild
not focusing on what it once was
but instead on what it will become
surviving the burns
and rising far above the ashes
because, after all, you do have something to prove
