Wherever the walls between righteous
Wherever the walls between righteous anger and judgement
You haven't found them
Letting your pain fuel your decent into darkness
You fail to find satisfaction
Yet you continue your quest for vengeance
With no regard for the suffering it causes
You couldn't let the pain disappear with the sun as it sets
Where once there was innocence
There is only a bitter heart
You were wounded like everyone else
At least you had something to hold
But in your quest
You have burned away every good person you once had
Now you have no one
Congratulations
You found the monster you seeked
But you destroyed everything else in the process
You became the beast you sought to destroy
But even now you have a chance for redemption
If you can put aside your anger
And with both your enemy and one who once called you friend
Make amends
