At some point,
even if
you
lit the match
You’ll lose control

I thought I
could handle the flame

But it grew
far too tall
far too fast

it burnt down everything
I wanted to protect


Maniac (noun):
A person characterized
with inordinate or ungovernable
enthusiasm for something

An impeccable analogue
to my apparent
Affinity
For chaotically destroying the things I hold dear

                   (reminder)

I lit the match that set the world ablaze
That set my world ablaze
