Once upon a time there was a flame
He had a name
it was Mr Candle's borderline Pain

The flame was strong, dark & heavy
too much to keep Mr Candle steady
He had to get rid of the pain already

Mr Candle tried to blame
but the flame stayed the same
Just as heavy & strong was the pain
even with the blame

And so 'Guilt flame' was born
the pain didn't transform
The fire burned, smoke spread
but the pain still hadn't yet fled

Mr Candle tried to manipulate
hopefully he will get rid of the pain he hate
And that's how 'Confused flame' was born
The fires burned
so much it hurt
and nothing good had yet returned

Mr Candle tried to scare & frighten
he was sure that will cause his pain to shrink & lighten
only the other flames it would brighten

So 'Obeying flame' was born
he burned, spread smoke
he hurt, yet of his pain he never spoke

But the pain of Mr Candle's flame was still the same
What a shame...
Mr Candle didn't stop trying to push his pain on to others
no matter how dear
his parents, wife, kids & brothers

He thought if someone received his pain
from him it would go away
He would be pain-free, yay
Or at least someone should help him carry this ugly pack
so he would have a smaller load on his back


But a candle that spreads it's flame on to others
doesn't become smaller
it just multiplies and grows bigger & taller
So everything burned & got destroyed
while Mr Candle refused to learn, instead he got annoyed

The fires burned rose gardens, blossomed trees & his strawberry plant
only ash could be seen on his land

Everyone felt guilty & sad
It was obvious that Mr Candle was wrong & mad
At least their wildfires they should stop
so as not to damage one more drop
More the fires shouldn't spread
that was their biggest dread

Deep down they where full of anger
Mr Candle had caused so much danger
But Guilt flame was so strong
Confused flame felt it was wrong
Obeying flame had never gotten angry before
she had all sorts of solutions
but anger she couldn't explore

Yet the stream of anger could wash their fires away
let the sky over the land go from dark smoke to bright day
They learned to feel angry slowly & with painfully hard work
Their fires shrank everyday as the anger washed away the dark

ANGER, Anger, anger they let out
it was so difficult, it was so bittersweet, it was good no doubt
All the pain got send back to it's owner
The new flames where there only to give light and share scented aromas

What was left of the burned field you might wonder
it was so much more fertile the soil under
After a while it grew the best fruits
the type that didn't grow from being good, obeying and cute

It was the result of bitter hard work & tears
of patience and overcoming ones fears
It's from a drive to get to a future that's pure & clean
where our dearest people feel loved & seen
Where the words "I love you'' is shared with happiness and ease
instead of guilt & reassurance, to feel at peace

There a real happiness is built that is strong and lasting
Where the future is built on soaked grounds of Emunah & Bittachon with Hashems blessing

This is beautifully written. I’m just trying to understand so forgive my question - I was following until the part about anger. Can you explain that?
