And in the flames

You carefully stack the kindling
criss crossing twigs and packing tinder,
and you light the fire and let go of thoughts
that used to linger
the team who deserve a better boss
not someone who doesn't have a clue,
you say you're learning and will get better
but that is a bridge your yet to cross
The friend you let down by not showing strength
in a moment they needed a leader,
you were only able to half the distance,
not the full length
The partner who you can't let see the struggle
and just put on the front,
you are desperate to be a tough 'man'
but really just want a cuddle
The fire pops and pulls you back
from thoughts so rotten,
you fix your gaze and stare a while,
and in the flames
all things are forgotten
