How strong and confident you are! Sometimes, it is recommended that one can hide weaknesses in the order to avoid being ignored by some people.
Awesome write lol!

This is beautiful, but I didn't see you submit it. I assume this is for the club challenge?

"
I can light one match on an empty stage
and capture the attention of a crowded
room"

I love this part.

Great job.

No I didn't submit this one, I wrote three for the challenge and picked the cyclops to submit, I wasn't sure which the best one was so I picked one at random lol! X

I too like the images, and the confident tone thorugh out the poem. In the first stanza it was more like "This is what I can do" and you showed it. I liked that.

There was a bit sadness in the middle parts, but I believe everyone has insecurities, however, I like what you did with this poem and also the ending.

All the time you talked about a fire giving you strength and at the end how you are afraid for the fire to be blown out, in a way, it's like saying that the insecurities are the fuel that strengthens your strength. lol

Though, you are talking more about fears and how they are caged, I guess having them caged is what liberates the courage but a little fear escapes through the hole of the key and makes you fear that someday your flame could be blown out.

I'm rambling, lol. I enjoyed the poem.
