After eight years 
of living in
an almost constant
state of I-don’t-wanna
a few things
happened I laid
fire to earth
my world anyway
and those closest
were incinerated and
those farther afield
burned and those
even farther damaged
and forgotten as
I wandered torch
in hand seeking
a different settlement
which to burn
it ended me
at least the
me I thought
to want ended
when death is
not an option
then killing everything
surrounding you is
the only choice
you ever consider
for in their
death shall also
slowly come yours
