Becoming

*

Maniacally slicing the chains of the past

an autopsy of sorts, designed for setting me free

I curl my hand tightly around the glass

The blood on my palm brings the sweetest release

A palpable fear

Now becoming airborne

it’s undeniably clear

What the rope was left for

If I cut it away leaving what’s dead on the floor

The past will be past

And I won’t live there no more
