poem about how people try to break you down. What they don't realize is that we all have to find our own shine!

My glow has been on fire for some time.
Now you have been trying to extinguish the light.
Now you want to make me burn,
but what you fail to realize is
that no one can put out my fire.

You try to break my spirit by saying
things that might upset my spirit.
I ignore you and continue to kill you with my gentleness.
My kindness confuses you as you consistently put me through tests.

Every time i pass a test, you try to
re-test me then finally you give up.

Why not use your energy to put some light on your path?
Why not use your energy to bring positivity to someone's life.

While you constantly try to burn me with harsh words and ignorant actions, I laugh in the wind.
I give you to the master, so he can handle you.

There's no need for me to waste my positivity on such foolishness.
