THE STORM OF THE FIRE

THE STORM OF THE FIRE
Written by Alana Cheng

 

I can’t count all the times that I’ve put myself through the ringer, just to make others happy, while trying to make it through the storm of the fire, while I was just dying so tragically in silence, on this roller coaster ride, no matter how many times, I have so quickly lied, to say that everything was okay, even though it wasn’t something that I truthfully wanted to convey, while doing all that I can, just to make it through the day, as there is still something in me, that tells me to stay, while doing all that I can, in the silence, of anything that could be so dire, just to push myself to make it through the storm of the fire, even when I can feel like there is just no other way, for me to make it through it all, as there are so many times, where I would stumble and fall, on the words that I would say, while trying so hard to convey, the truth to the factor, to tell you, that I’m really not okay, but in the end, I know that I will still manage to continue walking tall, no matter the situation, of how many times, I’d feel like I might fall, on my own words, of trying to convey, the fact that I’m just really not okay, but no matter the situation, of how much can still be so dire, I know that I will still be able to make it through so courageously through the storm of this everlasting fire.
