The fire burns
Consumes
It is all of me and none of me
Taking away
Sometimes to make room for new growth and
Sometimes it’s just destruction
I look back and wonder
At the charred remains
The regrets
Sometimes it’s just hopeless
Don’t tell me about self control
I can’t always be the firefighter
When sometimes I’m just the fire
I don’t don’t
I don’t want it to be like this
Just take your pills and everything will be alright?
Until when
What
Why
Don’t
Don’t tell me you have the answer
Don’t think that you know
Because the answers you have are the ones you found for
yourself
They apply to you and you alone
The simple well
Wishes
And motivational sayings
Your proverbs
And rules
And guidance
They work for you
I’ll find mine
In mine
In the mine
Of my soul
Sometimes it’s just buried too deep
Let the rain fall
And the sun
Shine in
Tomorrow

As always, Tom Gabel said it better... "the revolution was a lie."
