Wildfire

Everything I touched is afire.
The truth is out; I'm the liar.
Promises compromised,
Trust is in question.
Will I remain as I am
Or incorporate the lessons?
Will my words and actions align?
Will I choose health this time?
Every part of me is ablaze.
I am the igniter, accelerant, and flame. 
Until I heal myself, this will not be contained.
Everyone I love is subjected to smoke.
Those who love me are eventually engulfed.
