Burning the bridge to the past
In a blaze
I watched it go up
Blooming into a cloud of ash
Filling the skies
Pregnant with old desires
The fire burned with purpose
Ignited were all my old ties
I finally pulled the plug
Taking control of my life
Smoking out my lies
Drenching that bridge with gas
No longer can I lean on the crutch of my favorite drug
Searing closed the road to the past
Totally devastated
Like my life, the bridge burned fast
With a crunch, warm coals grumbled under toe
I found a new direction
My back was warm and aglow
I kept walking, heavy with reflection
I can't wait, to see which way my future will grow
I once felt ruined and ripped apart
I just smile now, remembering that I can sew

Miss Morbid, I love the liberating feeling of this piece. I'd already liked it before, but hadn't had the time to dissect my thoughts to explain why.
First, I like the wording, the pace, and the easy freestyle flow of this. Second,*grin*, there's something satisfying in watching it all go up in smoke.. oh yes, I'm a bonfire lover who has burned my share of effigies ;) And third, the upswing at the end leaves a lasting impression of renewal, freedom, and striking out again with confidence.
I like the attitude and enjoyed the read all over again. It's a good write, thanks for sharing!

Scat, thank you. I like all the feedback I have received, it has been helpful. However, I think your comment is my favorite thus far. You really took the time to not only read my poem but feel it. It means a lot to me because I am just now finding myself. <3
