Run while you still can
Some people settle
with comfort and
familiarity and
never grow to learn
what's possible
They walk
with tired dim torches
afraid to run
in fear of losing
their light
They are blind
to the knowledge that
their fire is fading
and soon will
their sight
There will come a time
when the dark envelopes the light
so don't be afraid to run
with your fire
for it may grow brighter
than you ever thought before
Some people
walk into the darkness
with their tired dim torches
without ever having known
how bright
They could have shined..

I like this very much, very motivational. I really enjoyed that last line. I think it would have more of an affect if you got rid of the "how bright" at the bottom. just "with out ever having known"..."They could shined" might just be a personal preference. Great work!
I like your suggestion!
