It grew like a wildfire,
Small, but spreading swiftly
And I tried to stop it,
But it kept growing
And growing
And growing
And by the time I realized
Just how big it was,
It was almost too late.
I could've stopped it,
Could've destroyed it
If I did but one thing
In that one moment.
And in that moment that mattered most…


I failed.


I failed.
I couldn't do it
And it sealed my fate.
It doomed me.
It rewrote destiny
To a future much darker.
It took over and
Now I've doomed everyone:
The world is aflame…


Because of me.
Hmm I got inspiration for this from my struggle to wake up in the morning. I don't know how but… whatever.
