Spoken Word - The Flame Within You

There exists a flame within you,

sometimes it flickers softly,

at other times it blazes fiercely,

but it is always present.

Anxiety may try to convince you

that it’s overwhelming,

that you are insignificant.

But the flame chuckles.

It softly assures you, I can handle this.

Every racing thought serves as fuel.

Every shaking hand stands as evidence.

Every heartbeat urging you to persist,

is a spark challenging the shadows.

You are not defined by your fears.

You are not defined by your uncertainties.

You are the fire

that will not be extinguished.

Even when the world trembles,

even when your mind screams,

even when the night seems never ending,

you rise.

You rise time and time again,

a fire in motion,

a heartbeat that refuses to surrender.

So raise your chin.

Allow the flame to roar.

Let it blaze through anxiety, through fear, through everything

that attempted to dim it.

Proclaim it boldly:

I am fire.

I am hope.

I will not be defeated.

For the flame within you,

it is relentless.

It is unwavering.

It belongs to you.
