My name is Jakob Collins.
I have a disease, but they don't know what to call it.
It's part savior complex, part masochistic tendency.
I am selfish, ill-tempered, and tend to do as I please.
Which leads me down all the wrong roads only part of the time.
The other leaves me empty and sick, twisted and discarded.
I am god of my universe.
I am the maker.
I am the destroyer.
I am the life-giver.
I am the life-taker.
And I take my fair share of lives.
I will take yours if you let me.
And give everything back to you when you don't.
For I am generous.
And I am greedy.
And half of the time, I will leave you needy.
The other half I will give you what it is you desire.
But I will take it all back and turn my back to the flames.
I will burn.
I will self-immolate.
I will torch my skin.
My body.
My soul.
And I will rise from the ashes, doleful and disjointed.
This is my gift.
This is my curse.
You will fall for my passions.
And leave feeling hurt.
Please tell me what you think

Ressurection by Fire;
It's dark, but it's truth. We all think that we are the masters of everything, only to question our own thought process and end up burning ourselves and others. I like the short lines and the brevity of the piece, as well as the sections of repetition. You know, I can't believe that more people haven't read this...

Dark and disturbing it reminds me of my old writes and sometimes what still comes out of me. You have always been a great friend to me and even greater as a listener and debater. Remember keep up the good fight it is all we have left.

Don't be so hard on yourself hun! This is a very deep and dark write and I see too much self hatred in this one
Keep your head up because in this write you describe human nature. We all have that dark selfish side to us 
Keep your head up!
