Playing with Fire

Always just a step behind
running from the flames
afraid of failure
never succeeding
barely dancing

Lost it seems
to those around her
no one knows her
darkest fears..
but still dancing

Escaping the fire
again and again
yet drawing the inferno
a vortex it seems
ever dancing

Fear of failure
yet ever burning
bringing destruction
where ever she goes
no choice but to dance

Burning high
escaping to the flames
rejoicing in the reward
of never failing again..
and yet still she dances

  1. A wonderful poem of willpower and hope. I love the photo as well. It fits the poetry like a piece to a puzzle.
