Burn By The Northside Authors

BURN

Make use of yourself,

You CAN DO anything with fire,

Giving away with submission,

Discipline first, productivity follows.

There's no cold fire

or a warm ice.

To have your name heralded by a choir;

You'd have to pay the price.

Gold wasn't wearing it's beauty, 

Neither was silver as pure as it was,

They all walked through a burning furnace,

That brought out the beauty that was hidden in

them.

Keep the fire burning, don't let it quench,

It surely hurts, but for the night,

When it's dawn, light would shine,

Not from the candle anymore, but from your soul.

It's time to wake,

and face the fate,

cause time has no phrase like 'wait'.

so live to burn or die and be mourned.

Around me hovers thick darkness,

Tried to see but was limited by blindness,

Admired how heroes burn their torches with great brightness,

But I possess a candle and it'll burn despite it's dimness.

Let the flame burn,

Let it lighten life, 

Let it brighten my dark 

let it show my way like the day.

Like flames, let passion be set to my desires,

Learning to ponder and pondering to learn,

Let me be engulfed in the heat of my zeal,

Let the thoughts I bear birth words that illuminate.

Burn candle, burn hard and burn bright.

Burn candle, bring darkness to the light.

Burn bright and burn proud.

Lead me through the night, the chaos, and the noise.

Fire illuminate my life,

Burn me of everything that intoxicates me,

let me emerge with glory like a shoe just polished, let me shine bright and lighten up my world.

P.S- So much is going on in cosmos that one needs to realize that aside looking up to God, no one will help one like when choose to help oneself. 

Dependence on another human is an ugly form of liability. Don't mistake this for asking for help (which isn't bad), here we mean YOU SHOULDN'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO DO FOR YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF!
