like a wildfire you spread
and your bitter words were the spark.
you tried to make me feel afraid
by letting my mind wander in the dark.
 though I don't believe you know
that I have a fire too.
it may look cold from afar
for mine is painted blue.
but do not be deceived, my friend
for its burn is rather sharp. 
it may look harmless in your eyes
but it leaves a lasting mark.
no longer can you sear my soul
nor the singed words you ignite
for the more you feed my azure flame
the brighter shines my glowing light.

a little poem I wrote up a while back. 
 I played around with photoshop to make my photo go along with my poem.
 It was brutally hard (since I barely know a thing about photoshop), but I did it. 
And wasted a full hour figuring out how to turn fire blue. Yay me. ;)
I'm sorry for not doing more real life-y posts lately, but I pink-y-swear I'll make one soon. 
I have quite a few poems just sitting in my overwhelming amount of drafts 
waiting to be shared. So if you like reading my poetry
 (which makes me so very grateful if you do) 
then just let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for reading
and for being such majestically awesome people. <3
Hope you all have a lovely Martin Luther King Jr. day!
