A Piece of Me

Self Liberation

By Míssa ColumbusPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

A small spark flickered inside me on and off with small dysfunction.

It never stays anymore. It's almost an unfixable malfunction.

It was once a flame going off unwavering and unhinged.

But now it's just hard to remember any time that I haven't cringed.

We had passion. It drove me. It was like fighting to the death.

We never gave up. We always fought for what it seemed to the last breath.

... But now, when I reach out, my senses fade but it still burns.

It's like my flesh leaves to ashes, my heart freezes, but my stomach still turns.

Simultaneously I feel everything and I feel nothing for lack of a better explanation.

I feel betrayed, I feel bitter, I feel worthless for a clearer evaluation.

I remember that who you are now is not the man who I once knew.

The thunder increased, lightening hit, rain came, and the wind blew.

It's like Sodom and Gomorrah I shouldn't look back and there's no return.

It was a lesson that I didn't want to face but over time I slowly learned.

May my mind rest in peace as I learn to never settle.

Let the whole flower go every piece and every petal.

I'll always keep the memories for those aren't just nothing to me.

And I take a deep breath, take that one step forward, and I set myself free.

Farewell my old home.
