If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

11 poems·Since April 2015

Disown

September 12, 2016
I need to scratch the bone Beneath my skin And rip out second-hand thoughts Embedded in my brain A hurricane has thrown me around Buried my tiny body in the ground Where I can soak up all the Wisdom from the dirt I want to eat the earth Don't burn me and place me On the hearth Before I catch the answers That always ran from me Vanity I must disown I've called it my own For too long Now excuse me while I burn This bleeding song Dripping with all my Worldly wrongs
