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
