The fire in her eyes
She was ignorant of it
She looked down on herself
She was ignorant of the power she had

The fire in her eyes
They all saw it but her
Let it burn friends said
Quench it, it's evil strangers said
Yet, she was still ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
It couldn't stay ignored forever,
So it began to manifest itself
In her dreams, she saw signs
In her visions, she saw worlds
Yet, she was still ignorant.

The fire in her eyes,
It couldn't stay ignored forever
Doors began to close before her
Men began to disappoint her
Favor began to leave her
Yet, she was still ignorant.

The fire in her eyes,
She began to look for redemption
Maybe I'm cursed she said
*Maybe I'm possessed by evil, she thought
I think I need an exorcism, she thought
Yet, she was still ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
She went to different places of worship,
You have evil in you they all said
It's responsible for the closed doors they said
They prayed and prayed and fasted
Yet, she was still ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
She got tired of the prayers
She walked on a lonely path
Look at the fire in your eyes a girl told her
She looked at her reflection
For once she saw the fire
She was no longer ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
Is not evil
But it is her destiny
It is her power
It is her will
It is her spirit
It is her soul
She was no longer ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
And she knew what it was all along
She tried to ignore herself
She looked down on her self
She was ignorant of herself
She found herself in the wrong places
And doors closed before her
She was no longer ignorant.

The fire in her eyes
It is who she is
It is her destiny
It is her power
She will not dim it for the world
But she will let it shine
She is no longer ignorant

The fire in her eyes
She let it shine
The doors opened in her face
Men watched in awe of her
Favor began to chase her
She is no longer ignorant
She is now a star.

Self-worth!
This is really beautiful❤

Thank you...

Some of them said it might be cursed but I think it's just how pretty her eyes are. We were blinded sometimes because we are too concerned about what people told us. Then the time we must understand ourselves more.

Exactly.. And when we understand ourselves then there is no limit to what we can achieve.
