They took my hand
Taught me how to live,
Taught me how to feel alive,
Gave me guidelines to live by,
Gave me the wings to fly,
But left me in ashes.
They made me wear the crown of their make-believe,
Played around with my vulnerability,
Gave me the chemical that my virgin blood had never tasted,
Although they knew the drug would keep me all wasted,
leaving me all in ashes.
They carved out a totally new person,
from who I already was.
I looked at the mirror,
and failed to perceive who the stranger was.
Living by the drug that now my poisoned blood craves,
hating the insides of me that they have depraved,
I'm nowhere but in ashes.

I LOVE the way you use the word ashes and how it ends each stanza... this stanza is my favorite... so incredibly deep... your words is like my new Bible to me! I wish I could be inside your mind for a day. I would come out ten times more philosophical and emotional and also able to express that in words.
You're fucking great DP :D
