'Fire Within Me' by Ravyn LaRue


I’ve heard SO many sayings to follow my dreams and do the impossible
Those slogans are child’s play now
Now I have an opportunity to seek this out and fight for it
Yet everyone now says, “You must be sensible.” “That isn’t for you.”
I am conflicted, but if I am to be judged by passion
Which I hear I shall be
I have more of that raw drive than ever before
I have faith and I can achieve this impossible feat
Because art is my religion, so no expense or risk is too much.
This is the moment in which I must step up
I may let sensibility fly by the wayside-
I have enough fat to let myself starve a while
I have enough clothes to be cold and ragged for a bit
I have enough momentum and spirit to conquer adversity.
This is what is calling to me
So I must pursue it
Why shouldn’t I?
It isn’t sensible?
I’m not a sensible creature- and that does me fine.
I may be small but I have giant plans-
And I have only one life to become my greatest
It scares me so that I’ll waste it
And with this jump it will prove I’m not just sitting back and watching my dreams passing me by
If I fall I can come crying home
But I might fly
And I’ll never know unless I try
If I can’t trust my heart, I have nothing-
I’ve known that since I was a child.
Well, here goes nothing-
