Candle

You're like a candle my dear

Sometimes you are burned up

Your inner fire is dying

The candle wax at the bottom

Represents your happiness

All of it has fallen

Once a candle, now nothing

Just like the hope you have forgotten

But what I was thinking

Instead of seeing that as a problem

As a sign for quitting

View it as a new beginning

A fresh opportunity for living

When the candle has stopped dripping

Maybe it's another chance it's giving

Grab the scraps of your wax

Reflect, collect and connect

Rebuild your fallen pieces

Don't see yourself as defeated
It doesn't have to be perfect

But remaking your own being

Might just be the freedom

You didn't even know you needed

This candle was only an example

An attempt of a positive angle

For you, whose so much stronger

Than what you think you can handle

So my little phoenix it's time

For you to rise from your ashes

To recognize your own magic

To finally realize your potential

Because sweetheart, you're something special
