 The stolen 
Star core
Inside my
Bones, 
The fire 
Sworn 
Elements,
Cannot 
Neglect 
Their duty 
To burn.

 The fire within is admirable.  But that does not mean you are obliged to be consumed in the conflagration, though, @Michelle.

Duty is a strange concept.  Imposed from outside, or self imposed, it has a habit of blinding people to their own needs, I find.  You are the fuel to that fire.  Be economical, if that is the issue here.
