Matchstick


Matchstick


I am a little matchstick

Small yet defiant…

Calm with a fire deep within

All it takes is one stroke to set me alight.


Light a lamp, I can

To drive darkness away

Or bring everything down

Turn things into ashes.


You may carry me in your pocket

And forget my presence…

But with every spark…every flash…

I shall storm back into your mind.


Never belittle me as I shall

Leave a trail even as I burn…

Never hold me too close,

For it may leave you with a scar.


Value me you may not,

Because I am negligible,

But when you stumble in the dark…

Think of me, sure you will.


I am a little matchstick,

Small yet defiant…

I shall continue to burn

Ceaselessly…
