Do not let your fire go out

"Do not let your fire go out"
What if it's growing dimmer? I feel it fading, sometimes, and it frightens me.

"spark by irreplaceable spark,"
Yeah... once they're gone, the fire is out, and can it be rebuilt?

"in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all."
So don't be discouraged by what is not yet visible - those things that are not yet what I wish them to be?

"Do not let the hero in your soul perish,"
I have a hero in my soul? Can I be a hero? I don't know...

"in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach."
Yeah. The life I deserve... I am reaching for it, but will I be able to even touch it?

"Check your road and the nature of your battle."
My road? I think I'm on the right one, and I hope I'm fighting the right battle. Sometimes I don't even know anymore.

"The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
So much like that quote I love, about changing the world one step at a time if there's something about it you don't like.

I can do this. I will do this.

I will change the world, and I will be happy.
