There are candles in my eyes,
A firecracker in my brain,
A match in my heart.
Now I am burning.
You are the cause of all this anger.
Striking the match with your words and actions.
You set fire to my emotions.
It spreads to my heart-
Out of control-
Rising to my brain.
The firecracker snaps,
Uncertain of what you have done.
You try to find the fire escape,
But find I am in control.
A trickle of sweat down your cheek-
Getting too hot for you?
Nervousness washing you,
I trap you in my ring of fire.
A tiger in a carnival,
Noticing me, Attacks.
Don't take me for a pushover!
With your sharp claws
You'll scratch me,
But I always survive.
I learn from the past.
I have strength.
Almost excited, I look at you,
Your appearance just a spell.
A strong tiger?
You are a snake,
And I won't let you strike.
You can't reduce me.
You can't extinguish me,
No matter how hard you try.
It's impossible.
