Have you ever met those people,
Who kind of light up your world?
They're like fireflies,
They're like rainbows.
Have you ever met those people,
Who make you feel whole again?
They're like leaps of faith,
They chase away the rain.
Have you ever met those people,
Who are like angels without wings?
They're like shooting stars,
They're like ice cream.
These people are like fireworks,
They're rare, but I know that
There are people that are like fireworks,
They help you let your colours show.
Do you know that there are people,
That are kind of amazing?
They're like rays of sun,
They're like diamond rings.
Do you know that there are people,
That really care?
They're like sparks of hope,
They're like teddy bears.
So when you feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind,
Whenever you feel like a house of cards one blow from caving in;
Whenever you feel so buried deep,
And when you scream no-one seems to hear a thing,
Just know that there are these people,
And these people...
These people are like fireworks,
They're there, I know.
There are people like fireworks,
Who say 'yes' when the rest say 'no'.
Inspired by the song 'Firework' by Katy Perry.

There's some understatement in Fireworks.
With all the great similes, (most of them very memorable, and create a well-rounded impression!), you want the poem to be stronger in its language.
Fireworks does have a great structure, though.
Those people burn with their passion and caring, don't they?
