Just following the path of life
can be really hard sometimes,
the blank spaces, the joy,
and the fire slowly burning
But in the end we’ll reach success,
In the end, we’ll reach pure joy
Because you cannot desire
what you do in the fire
You can’t just do it,
you have to search your life
and pursue it.
You find the happiness that lingers within
You may not know it,
or show it
but there is a light ahead
just follow your dreams
follow your mind
and live your life happily
take your time

This piece is about how life has it's ups and down but you just have to push through and not try to stay in "the fire", and eventually, that choice to push through will result in something that you can say you've achieved.
