Authoring: Metaphor (BANE)

Why do I burn, and why do I feel

I manage to scorch everything near

a drone saboteur of everything dear

I burn even brighter so that you might hear

a tool of a fighter who would play off fear

Don't idolize traits that you cant comprehend

as envious as you may be

To me it's a burden that I long to end

but it is such a large part of me

Speaking in riddles, I am a bomb

whereas you, like most, are a candle

you know not when I'm coming

yet it's clear when I'm gone

providing my blast you can handle

It's true we both burn

yet you don't burn as bright

I see that you yearn

with all of your might

I want you to learn

there's no need to fight

You feel I'm superior and that you're inferior

I grant a retort: for my time is short

So how am I stronger if you last so much longer?
