Every move I make, I fall further into the fire
There's nothing left to salvage except a new attitude
Today I found my cancer is terminal
and in a shocking outcome, my heart still beats
though the devil in my dreams forbids me to speak
I chose my destiny and it may be questionable
but my mind has been set
Do not fear the ashes but fear the ghost who will wake you from sleep
Cover your mouth and don't you dare scream
There is nothing that defines true fear than a broken past
I am the bringer of wrong and misery
cleverness was never an excuse
Those who sin must be punished
and so that of which I deserve is only natural
Devil, torch me in a masquerade
Let the demons steal my soul
It's time for the better side of me to let go

The author's comments:
This piece is very personal. I wrote it with raw emotion in the middle of a situation I wanted to get out of. I had hurt someone I loved very deeply and because of that, I wanted to disappear. Soon after, I realized that people are allowed to make mistakes and that they deserve to be forgiven. However, at the time when I wrote this, I felt very neglecting so I vented it all in a notebook and now I vent it to the world.
