I am a candle, small and unlit
Not knowing what shine I’ll emit
Discovering embers of different kinds
Different colors, different minds
Sparks of neon blue and ruby red
On crossroads, looking at paths ahead
Flares of bright yellow and warm fire
What kind of person would I aspire?
Will I be a confident blaze or a timid flame?
A frail glow or another type just as tame?
A delicate radiance, the intention to endorse?
Or an invisible warmth, a kind source?
Where will I be placed and slowly burn?
What place will I rightfully earn?
Upon a stand emanating as a tiny sun
Behind a curtain, a silhouette outdone
Guiding the lost? A beacon of hope?
A symbol to silent stamina and cope?
Held up high burning to sparkle a wish
Securing the heart, friendly and swish
Standing by to soothe bittersweet memory tears
Soft sobs between unspoken prayers
A flame determined as equally bright
A placate to the troubled and contrite
Pure and clear, enlightening the world
A dancing flicker that winked and twirled
I actually looked up some things as back up in case the inspiration ran out. Luckily it didn't, but thanks to the following links. (They were just informative of the colors and meanings of candles, as well as the meaning of a certain type of flame, but hey....it caught my attention.)

Side note (AKA nothing to do with this post, but...):
In the background, I have my dad and little sister playing band hero and the song is Jesse McCartney's Beautiful Soul. It's not that I don't like the song (quite the opposite actually), but...I found it an interesting pick for something like Band Hero. x3
Another side note: Before, they were playing Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me. Now THAT one made me crack a smile at the thought. =P
