This Lil' Birdie is a Firework

I refuse to spend the rest of my life afraid of being consumed by the light hiding deep inside of me.  Flames don't destroy matter; flames change matter.  A flame does not destroy a piece of paper; it simply changes that paper into ash -- which makes it equally as useful as it was as paper.  So if my entire life is consumed by the fire inside of me, so be it. In the end, I will be changed into something wonderful.

So here's to being a firework.  Go light up the sky.  And MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

"You just gotta ignite the light / and let it shine / Just own the night / like the Fourth of July" -- Katy Perry "Firework"

P.s. Jennifer, this one's for you!
