Hey @scribbles !

Here’s the meaning I get out of this one:

The narrator starts out hopeful in adversity, then the match and flint metaphors seem to explain how adversity can produce hope, and the last part kind of puzzles me with the word “even”.

Candles burn. That’s their thing. So the word “even” seems out of place to me unless this is a special, non-burning candle or you’re trying to say that even a candle burns down to nothing. If it’s the former, I’d love to know what kind of candle I’m dealing with here, if it’s the latter, you might want to consider dwelling on that thought for a few more lines, and if it’s neither and you just wanted to point out that candles burn, I’d recommend cutting out the word “even”.

Hope that helps!
