what i need to do
what im trying to do
is clear the toxicity from my words and my mind
its a journeying
its a process
humbling it is in style
to wake up and realise how irreverent I’ve been
so utterly disrespectful to the ones i love and need
i am ruining them i have ruined them
their hearts and minds within a dream
by aching words i am now suffering
feeling the pain at knowing what i said how i spoke
was far less than comfortable or tame
i can only bleed so much energy for i am splattering with ease
the ink blots the chimney tops
roar to life as burn pillage the hunted one
but i am here i am resting relaxing my ailing mind
and somehow ill know ILL KNOW that i will make it through again
turning over those hinting leaves
and reassuming my good goals
