Once again, Fire races through
My carefully balanced towers
Kin and community rock and threaten to fall
And I feel so guilty
I tend to break things
I always tell myself and blame myself
I want to just dump the chess board
Just forget to try
I Hang onto Hope
I am stubborn
Maybe something is salvageable
Something can evolve from the mud and rubble
In that moment of grief, doubt, panic
You ask, What about me?
I cannot leave You, even if everyone else does
I keep my promises
I'll keep pushing and working to build
To change and fix what needs to be fixed
This can be fixed
It may require a sacrifice
But I'll keep the parts that are still living
And cut away the rot
Fire can also heal
