Temporary man

By Jordan A. Burgh

The temporary man in your lives is me, the man the holds the scissors. Im the healer of lost souls. The damages and damned come to me when no one else will listen to their cries. Im the one who heals, advices and tugs ever so lightly on the strings of trauma that hold them high above the ground. I help them cut the strings of puppeteer that wants nothing but to hang them ever so above the ground dangling for help. I heal them only for them to run free and be happy. They leave me so I can help the next soul and for that Is the gift and the curse of the temporary man that holds the scissors capable of cutting away our deepest most negative thoughts. It’s a responsibility, I hold dear and close to my lost soul
