Deep within my intellect, burns a raging fire which cannot be extinguished, even by the power of my own will. A fire which guides me to climb the highest mountain, reaching beyond the physical limits of my being.
It freed me from the braces I wore on my legs and allowed me to run alongside my siblings. It allows me to face all internal and external conflicts with complete and utter passion.
When I feel like conceding, it burns brighter and coerces my spirit to fight for all that is good. This flame gives me compassion for the less fortunate and the desire to protect children and the elderly. It allows me to love those who are friends and those who are my enemies.
This flame gives me the fuel of tenacity to fight for those who are oppressed but to proceed in a peaceful manner. It shows me how wars can be won without violence and that love can prevail over hate.
What exactly is this flame and from where are it's origins? For it is the majestic power and love of God that has made its place in my heart.
