FUEL.

I have the spark.

I have the life.

Now time to start the burn.

A candle ignites,
Illuminates the night.

I'll run as fast as I can.

I'll reach the edge before my end.

I'll be the brightest light in the night.

I am the most fragile source of light.

I shall flicker,

I shall waver.

I'll remain lit,

I'll remain bright,

Until my time is up,

I'll allow all to see,

In the night as though the day.

Then I shall fade,

Extinguished.
