Burn burn to ashes
the parts you don't need
Write write on paper
the parts you don't need
Your anger, your anxiety
your mistakes, your regrets
Burn burn
Burn them to ashes
Burn burn to ashes
the parts you don't need
Write write on paper
the parts you don't need
Your flaws, your errors
your missteps, your neglects
Burn burn
Burn them to ashes
Don't hold onto them
Don't let them hold
Hold you back
Burn burn
Burn them to ashes
the parts you don't need

I am reminded of the words frequently spoken by pastors, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
Tried this, literally, ..didn’t work much. I do like a good blaze though and the message of this poem! 😁 🔥
Yes. Just write it down and catch it on fire!
Gotta go roast some marshmallows over my life's drama. Grabbing the emotional skewers and making a feast out of my questionable choices! 😂😂😭
