Analysis of Deeper than the fire



I chose to believe
I chose to achieve
I chose a new day
I chose a new way
I chose not to be afraid
I chose to get paid
I chose to lead nations
I chose my own relations
I chose to fight
I chose to do what is right
I chose to create my own world
I chose not to fold
I chose to make a difference
I chose not to commit an offence
I chose to crawl
I chose to stand tall
I chose to rise up
I chose not to give up
I chose to live my life
I chose love my wife
I chose to break the ice
I chose to think twice
I chose to live another day
I chose to pray

About this poem

This poem represents how I feel about myself. It is a phase of my thoughts as a person. As in I believe that I can achieve anything as long as my heart is in the right place. To me my heart is deeper than the fire. I don't trying until I finally give up. However the question is will I give up.
