I Am Here

This is me
I am here, wholly present
Fully conscious, I exist without apology
I exist with flame, with fire
Endless desire, to step forth, to do good
This world
But there's a fire in my mind and it ravages
Tells me to doubt to fall to fear
The flame the fire I possess
It claims it, tells me it is not mine
She is not mine
Make me feel as if my voice
Is small
Pressing me into the earth like I need to apologize
For being here
Me
But I fight
For and with the flame that burns so bright
But will fade with time
I will not apologize
For being me
