Giving Up Your Old Self

Giving Up Your Old Self

A Poem by K-mo

Fire is in your eyes

smoke is in your soul

ash is consuming your

heart

 

Nothing seems to put out

the eternal fire of your internal

desire

 

Lost if all the smoke

you can't breathe and

you start to choke

 

You begin to wonder what

you deprive as you search

for a way to survive it

 

Then you see a glimpse

of hope and you soon'

can see a path through

all the smoke

 

You always hid yourself

in a lie because it was the

only way for you to get by

 

Now that you see who you

were meant to be, your

old self must die
