Burning clothes

And growing pains

Do you like what you see

When you look in the mirror?

Why this fear?

Dark for the spark,

Where is the drift,

And where is the wood?

Are you the sacrifice,

Is it really worth it?

The bigger picture of eternity

It keeps me up,

Up at night,

Burning bright

But buried deeply,

Its easier to settle,

I am deep into it

And I can’t escape

What I long for,

Safety,

Security,

All the things you do

For me,

Burning clothes cause

Things have changed since

You were around.

What kind of look is

There now,

A look of uncertainty,

Or a look of clarity.
