professional

oh you would love to devour this
this flame i hold
this light i bear
it keeps me warm
it holds me here
this is no place to call home
at least not of my own

i am not powerful
but i see what i lack
i do not know the way
stuck in a cul de sac
i will not tell you lies
though i never know the truth
i would not strike you down
but when it burns i'll soothe

i missed the final bell
and then they locked me in
i have nothing left but time
and that is getting slim
do not think i am an answer
when your questions lead you here
for if i've learned one thing since i've been lost
it's that even the incapable can thrive
if only they take the wheel
and steer
