I am the instigator.
I ruin things. I ruin everything.
"Some people just want to watch the world burn." Well,
I am the fire-starter.
Sit back and enjoy the art
this burning world
I made.
I tore it to the ground.
And just like that-
up in flames.
And out of these ruins
comes something beautiful,
like a phoenix.
A fresh start.
Beauty born from ugliness.
I never knew this
would happen
when I struck the match.
It was just luck.
There is hope
for the broken
to be fixed.
The regretful
to redeem.
I was shown
I can be a better person
with sulfur.
It was all a mistake.
It's always a mistake.
But from those mistakes
is fashioned a lesson
a learning
a new beginning.
I am better
than the last me.
