To relight the fire

The unexamined mind may be a terrible waste but
the unexamined heart is a tragedy.
In a world where both apply
the sad man struggles.
To relight the fire 
in his heart
for the hundredth time
after blowing it out himself
for the hundredth time
self forgiveness becomes an act of heroism.
Self love ignites the fire.
