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

Thanks for reading!

    I am reminded of the words frequently spoken by pastors, "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
