"4 Alarm Fire"

 

Sometimes life just takes its toll on a person. It starts a fire deep within you that you just don't know how to put it out. The flames consume every inch of your soul and the next thing you know there's a 4 alarm fire within you.

 

You seek out the water to put out that blaze, be it comfort food, an old movie, a sad song, anything. You fight hard just like any firefighter would but you still can't put it out.

 

Your soul goes down in heated flames and your heart explodes in pieces. The fire dies down on its own, leaving turmoil in its wake.

 

The clean up and damage control begins. You've lost everything, everything. Your heart, your mind, your body and your soul and just like things those items can be repaired. The scar they leave behind though is a constant reminder of what was of how things use to be and no matter how hard you try things will never be as they once were. Life as you knew it is over and a new life takes its place.
