I Am Fire

This is a poem about a person with high energy and lofty dreams who soon finds his world suffocating and his life controlled by another.  It dampens the first person's hopes and desires until it extinguishes the fire that once burned inside him.  This poem could be about two lovers, one with an overbearing personality, but it could also be about a different type of relationship, possibly that of a child and a parent, but either way, the controlling person stifles the dreams and enthusiasm of the other one.  Very powerful and very sad. 

An excellent poem.  I have seen this happen to people, and I have also seen the reverse, where the controlling person wakes up and becomes supportive.  A sequel story to this would be great where the controlling one becomes aware and changes behavior.  Well done, @Krista.
