Can you feel it? The heat and the rush from standing so close to the fire? I think I’m way too close, but I want to feel it more.
It’s not bad, is it? I’m not hooked in yet. It’s all just a dream until I make it real. Nothing’s gonna change unless I say it can, so why be afraid?
I’m strong, and I can do whatever I wish. Whatever I please.
I’m okay.
The fire may be creeping closer, but I’m not chained in place. If it gets too close, I can just back up. I can put it out.
I won’t burn up.
