I am a candle



I am a candle 
which you have tried 
with all your might
to stamp right out, 
and sliced my throat 
for the thousandth time
but one bright night 
she'll light me up 
and I will shine just as bright!



In a vicious battle 
of dark and right, 
life won today, 
took all that's mine

it smothered me; 
it trampled me up 
-- left me for trash

ripped out my heart, 
it's not a wound, 
but a blazing gash

but I am a candle 
and I will shine 
just as bright!

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
