Fire in My Kitchen

In the kitchen's glow, I find my fight

Cooking stories, battles in the night

Every slice, a fight for my soul

Seeking strength, trying to make me whole

September's call, everybody asks me

To turn the heat up, set the flavors free

My pain's heavy, but I still create

In each dish, I find my escape

Leaping flames, I control the fire

In every stir, I rise higher

Lost in flavors, I reclaim my name

Through this heat, I play my game

Fire up the stove, let the cooking begin

Cooking strength back, feeling free from within

Steak and fried potatoes, my healing art

Hiding no more, I’m mending my heart

Little leprechaun, John, or red-skinned delight

Fried potatoes, your love fuels my fight

Saints tender, like my fragile state

Every dish I serve, I heal my fate

Knife turns into my tool of hope

Slice away the pain, learn to cope

In the kitchen, I find my voice

Reclaim my power, make my choice

Fire up the stove, let the cooking begin

Cooking strength back, feeling free from within

Steak and fried potatoes, my healing art

Hiding no more, I’m mending my heart

Every meal a victory, every flavor a song

Cooking through the trauma, where I belong

The heat pounds, but I stand tall

In this kitchen, I break the fall

So I cook again, with passion and grace

Fighting through shadows I can't erase

Three-star chef, I’ll proudly be

In every dish, I find me

"Fire, Flavor, Freedom"
