Losing Understanding

Bursting into fire, sometimes my only desire
or maybe a feeling to get me higher
comprehension of existence soothes my soul
thinking of my life makes me lose control
mixed emotions, blood on the wall 
take one more step and i begin to fall
mixing roses my eulogy is here
my heart drops the message is clear
am i worthy to live or ready to die?
my heart beats faster i begin to cry.
suffering on the inside my pain is too great
pray for me now before its too late.

existence turns to ashes as my life continually crashes
reality exists to those who believe
i turn my back and start to leave.
close my eyes turn off the light
losing understanding of wrong and right.
