not 98.6

There's a fire inside me,
i don't know where it comes from,
but it wants to get out.
My normal temperature is not 98.6.

When i'm attacked,
it leaps up to sear and burn.
But i only let it out
through the lens of discipline.

It roars, "destroy the threat."
But i say, "No, teach.
Teach something better,
teach how you found Peace."

When i'm loved,
i can't stop the fire.
It shines through my eyes,
burning, burning, desire.

Water-bearer, fire sign.
I rant to let off steam.
A complicated duality,
but really, that's "me."

This is a good one....

When I'm attacked
It Leaps up to sear and burn
But I only let it out
through the lens of disipline.

I strive to be this disiplined
