Burnt Ash 100322

There comes a time when you dissolve

A time when you disappear into thin air

Muted with the fears,

And the anxieties,

And the memories,

Suffocated by the past, present and future

Trapped into the corner by what could be’s

You keep trying to change and be someone new

Trying to be someone better

Someone who is wanted, needed and seen

Trying so hard to be that person

That you rushed into it so desperately

You did not realize or notice your body resisting

All the nerves and muscles clenching to what they know

While you are trying your best to erase it

Burning you out from the inside

Until you are nothing but ash blowing in the wind

Once someone broken and now nothing but dust.
