Lemon

I am on fire. 

Burning and waiting until I turn to ash. 

The cause is unknown, but it is swirling, on a continuous cycle. 

The burns have scarred and burned again. 

Never getting the time to heal before it bursts into flames. 

Moments of calm, but not when I choose them. 

Just like the fire, it's all a surprise. 

At this point, I try to shield others from the fire. 

Though this never proves to matter. 

I wonder who wants me to burn up? 

I think it's me, but I can't answer that question. I don't know for sure. 

I'm not ashes yet.
