What is a sign?

What is a hint?

How do I talk without talking?

I want it to be there,

silent but thriving.

Just waiting for a spark.

Anything to get it kick started,

But how?

Where do I find a match?

it's all on me,

I must find it, strick it, and throw it.

If I wait,

time will run out.

But how do I make a fire,

when I'm too scared of burning down the forest.

How do I talk without talking?

I must initiate,

but that's scary and adult-y.

I can't be an adult, that's not me.

it could be me...

Risk the destruction for the hope of a fire?

I can do it.

I must.
