To Feel the Fire as it Burns

Does it scare you
To be so close
Does it haunt you
To see all your ghosts

All the secrets
Entered your head
From all the pages
Of the books that you read

Are you hiding
Your real self
Are you fighting
The fear of success

All the chances
You turned them down
Throughout a lifetime
You let them down

This is the point of no return
These are the lessons we must learn
To gain the wisdom from the yearn
To feel the fire as it burns

Does it burn you
To carry the torch
Does it hurt you
To feel the remorse

All the choices
That used to be there
All seem to vanish
Into the air

This is the point of no return
These are the lessons we must learn
To gain the wisdom from the yearn
To feel the fire as it burns
