Thank you to everyone who reads my poetic thoughts and takes the time to commnet. This is my favorite place to be. Love all..xxoo
I am at a bon fire Teens like me all around.. Everyone drinking talking laughing living.. Except me.. I sit I am mesmerized by the fire.. Watching the flames lapping towards the sky Listening as it crackles.. As if it is talking to me.. this fire.. this beauty.. this living entity it beckons me.. Come into my flames.. I am safe and warm.. I will protect you.. Through me you can be reborn.. Let me take you.. Let my inferno save you I stand.. I walk slowly into the flames.. I am yellow and orange I am strong I feel no pain.. I burn to nothing.. Now I am but ashes on the cold ground.. Until the wind comes and carries my ashes.. to places I want to be To playgrounds with laughter To mountains To trees To large open fields.. I mingle with seeds.. Now I am part of every season.. winter, fall, summer, and spring.. Suddenly I am growing.. a radiant flower .. alive once again. Now I am part of many.. No longer am I alone.. I now have a family.. and nature is my home. ERICA

Mesmerizing. Painful, but oh-so-easy to relate to. Teens feel things on such a different level than adults, deeper and more intense. Good writing here, Erica.
