I was once a dancing flame but I forgot how to dance so I mimicked others until one day... pft.

I am unable to see myself burning out untill I spit, clinging to the bitter end of the wick.

At first, I am a soldier, fighting because I know the end is coming.

At the end is a void. Nothing in it and nothing can fill it. Nothing matters.

DESPERATION. Pouring everything and anything into the void.

In truth, I don't really know what happens next but suddenly I am dancing again. Only mirroring of course until one day... pft.

Dear flames, how do you dance?
