Burning Up

It starts with a spark

Then through the dark

A fire explodes

It expands,

Oh how it grows

We're burning up

The flame

Inside of us grows

Yes everyone knows

Its what gives us drive

What makes us strive

For what we want in our lives

We're burning up

In the fire

Its consuming us

It brings us higher

Taking over our lives

Smoke billowing to the skies

Take control of the flame

Bring yourself fame

Or whatever you'd like

Its your life

Become engulfed in the fire

Others you'll inspire

If you live you life on fire

Author's Note

Live your life on fire, and burn up in the flames

I like the meaning hidden behind it. The simplicity of the whole thing was really cool as well.

I love this part.
"It starts with a spark
Then through the dark
A fire explodes
It expands"

And this part ,
"Its what gives us drive
What makes us strive
For what we want in our lives"

This poem was very well written. It was just perfect how it is!
Amazing poem
Great job!

This one's really good and descriptive, the fire is pretty good. I think that it rhymes a little bit too much with simplicity, in the future, try to mix it up a little more by using more compound rhymes and maybe not have it depend as much on it. The last three lines are really my favorite, and critiquing it, you spelled "engulf" wrong.

This is a really good poem, it's very emotional. It's nice :)
