They say
Fight fire with fire
That's how
Everything burns
I know the heat
I feel the pull
I hear the call
To strike back harder
But flames don't cure flames
They only spread
Anger loves mirrors
Violence wants twins
I don't fight fire with fire
I starve the chain
Not the person
I cut the oxygen
From my own return
I step out of range
I keep the heat
I kill the chain
No fuel
No echo
No second strike
This is not weakness
This is control
Power is stopping
What wants to run wild
No escalation
No retaliation
Discipline
Is louder than rage
And this is where it stops
Being defence
Starving a fire
Is not the same
As putting something out
Something has to be
Brought in
Water
Bread
A name spoken
Without a knife behind it
That's the part
Nobody calls heroic
That's the part
That refuses
To pass it on
The fire in my answer dies
When I do not answer
In kind
I don't burn back
