Little flame dancing to and fro
Flickering in the breeze
Gust of wind, there you go
A life of your own
While chained to a wick
You have it so easy
You make me so sick
Preying upon the wick
Eating it away
Why not let it stay
Greedy flame it's all for you
You take it all
But then you're through
No one left for you to abuse
No wick left for you to use
It's to late to make amends
You've burnt out your friend
Without that wick, your life now ends

deciding point in the story
sprung from ashes of former glory
an optimist in decay
mind full of disarray
soul malicious
spirit vicious
descending mind
logic unwinds
truth perverted
life distorted
taunting voices in my head
frightful thoughts which i dread
images before my eyes
memories i now despise
happy moments displaced
the old me erased
life now scorned 
a pessimist born
