It doesn't need much,
one little spark
and all those emotions
that was left in the dark,
suddenly burst out
and a furious flame
fueled by the need
to know who's to blame,
starts raging through
the crowd around me,
a flame that was small
now surrounds me.
I could have stopped it
'stead a blew it on.
It's hard to admit
that I was wrong.
I could have saved
a life today,
made the fury
fly away,
I needed to be angry,
please can you forgive me.

Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice!

Wow... this had a wonderful flow. The short lines and scheme of rhyme was very nice in this piece.
You expressed a great deal of emotion here, it was all well absorbed while reading it.
"I could have saved
a life today"
Those two lines were very good. Excellently done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

You can't blame yourself on everything that happens around you.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
Be strong
