5 minute poetry

You and your dark poems, Squall. =Þ Here's another of mine. ^^

"The Burning Path"

A burning path, with ice inside,
One more failure, I will not ride.
I'll have to walk the burning path,
And face the cold's unnerving wrath.

The burning pain, the numbing cold,
All of this had been foretold.
I grimace through it all the while,
Just another hellish trial.

My life's temptations set before me,
Drinking, drugs, things abhorring,
Calling to me; give up the fight!
Ignore it, stick with what is right.

The burning path now starts to clear,
See all the things I hold most dear,
My love, my family, and my friends,
I see this burning path's own end.

They welcome me with open arms,
They're all real; no false alarms.
Finally at the end of the path,
I made it through; look back and laugh.
