The brief spark instigated the inferno
The blaze lay waste
To a once robust forest
Now a screen of smoke and ash
The smoldering remains
Are now sanctified
Cindered are the ashes
Remnant kindling curves the circle
Set aflame the lone tree
Silenced the witness forever more

Drugs are poison to an already sick brain
Relying on crime to supplement a need
Just watch those junkies push their lives down the drain
The once great potential gave way to greed
I'm not asking for your sympathy
Where were you when the weight of my desperation
Forced me to seek a quick remedy?
Yet you condemn me to eternal damnation
But don't we all have that which we'd rather forget?
Demons that lie in wait for when we are most vulnerable
Those feeling of sorrow, hate and regret
Stab holes in a shield meant to be impenetrable
Remember, on whichever side of this fence you are
Know that both are less clear cut then when viewed from afar
