I burned that fucker down

 

I finally did it.
Took all the napalm stored up in my heart --

the apologies, the fears
the pleas, the tears
the sleepless nights
the silent fights
confessions, concessions
questions and obsessions
childhood trauma
relationship drama
petty suspicions
demands and conditions
intrusive thoughts
oughts and naughts
accusations
intimidations
myth and mystery
ancient history
wounds and scars
snuffed out stars
bad excuses
old abuses
daddy issues
bloody tissues --

All the shit
that I could fit.

Wrapped it up in searing rage
tossed it over my shoulder --

and turned the page.
