i never wanted to drift through life,
i wanted to tear peoples hearts
in beautiful ways,
make impact,
change the structure of people’s brain tendrils,
i wanted to create laughter, pain, feeling in my words
i needed people to be destroyed, in one way or another
by my voice,
my writing,
my echo,
for I believe feeling is the only way to get through;
for people to understand that -
i am not here lightly
i am a gallant ball of flames
i spew passion from every angle
my fire is not to be distinguished
i’ll roar my way through your forest,
tear it down,
leave the ashes on the ground
as a reminder
that i,
never wanted to drift through life

I'm amazed by how you used the same lines in the beginning and end of this poem. I've always wanted to write something like this but I can't seem to find the right words. Good job! thanks for sharing your passion to the world <3

I love this poem. It speaks volumes really. In my own four lines, two of which are borrowed from you, and two of which sum up to be a popular saying:
I never wanted to drift through life
I came and I saw
And all I wanted to do was conquer
I never wanted to drift through life.

Thanks for sharing this piece.
PS. I think you might have erred by using distinguished rather than extinguished in line sixteen.
