Born Again Today
I paint the night sky in dazzling flames like my mind on its high ride I hold my heart in my hands and burn it to ashes As the fears creep out of the crevices of my skull I plant seeds and flowers bloom within me in this cold winter My body aches as I shed the skin and grow a thick rib cage to protect my empty heart I wrap myself in a shawl to succumb the flames within me Fears Burns Desires I leave this world another day I am born again today
