she stared into the fire
irises burning yellow
black dots appearing in her vision
but she did not look away
instead, she smiled
a smile which could
make earthquakes occur
which could make volcanoes erupt
which could make stars collide
because she did not fear the fire
as a more fierce
fire was already
burning within her.
the yellowish orange hue
were the colours of play
the heat was the threat
the brightness was the pride
but she had the core
which made her
the stronger one
the fire lashed out its arms
teasingly grazing her skin
a chuckle escaped her lips
'thats it?' she spoke back
she started walking
until eventually
she reached the fire
'careful' spoke back the fire
it was more of a challenge than
a threat to her
she smirked
eyes aglow
and stepped into the fire
what happened next
was surprising
almost remarkable
the fire took the shape of
a human form
and not just any human
the fire took the shape of
the girl
it was not the fire that
challenged her
it was her own fire
which grabbed the fire
and made it her own
now she was fire within a
fire
and nobody dared to
mess with her.
