Burning Bridges

Just leave it all behind..

Set me on fire

Burn me down 

I want to be free

Like ashes on the wind 

Flying over trees 

On my mind

My heart Burns

Bridges down

I want to overcome

Fear with you 

I want to be free 

Free to fly 

I want to burn my problems down

And let them fly like ashes on 

My mind

Let me get up 

Cause my dreams are burning down 

Let me believe

That I'm something beautiful inside me

That I belong with the fire 

Inside myself

(I'm Burning my bridges down...) 

So set me on fire

Let my thoughts burn down

let them be ashed down 

So they can fly over trees

In my mind 

So they can be free 

Let me be free

From my mistakes

Let me fly like the wind

Carelessly to my ending  

Let me break away 

"Cause I'm burning down 

Let me fly 

'Cause I deserve to thrive

So let me be free 

Set me on fire 

Let my ashes burn down

Let me be free now 

I'm Going to scape 

Cause my world is upside down 

So I'm burning my past's bridges down 

So that my past can never reach me now

This is just f(&67 sick and dark and I don't know if I want to know where your dark place is to write this. I liked it in a scary sorted way.

Don't know that I want you as a neighbor. Hahaha

Great piece and yes it did bring emotion and what else can you ask for.

Thanks for sharing.

[Lizardo]

Hahaha this is probably one of my first pieces that has gone dark you know, did I get right or did I miss?
Thanks for the reviw by the way!

[Willard Wells]

I did not look at it as hit or miss, it was just f'in dark. I wrote what I did in the review because it was a dark place you wrote from or a really ugly place in your head that was at times more reality than fantasy. Keep going from keep your eye out for the edge of the blade.

[Willard Wells]

I think I slipped and missed a word or two. Call it a puzzle rather than bad grammar.

[Loaa Diab]

amazing poem , that could literally be a lyrics of song , good job :)

You have burned yourself away! There is nothing left. I am looking all around for something. I have tickets to the Antiques Road Show at Madison Square Garden?

[Riversong]

Death by pyre >:D This is different, but good.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much for taking your time and review this :)

[Drizzle]

I love you're writing but I loge this one most cuz it describes a phase that im going through .Your words are just perfect and I also like how the poem is layed out

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much for this amazing review :) it really means a lot

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think burning the past away that inflicts us with grief or regret is a good thing, as long as we can do that without burning all our bridges with people....
starting over is good...but there are those we don't want to totally leave behind...

those bridges we still may want to cross again some day.

[Lizardo]

I know, that is very true, some bridges don't have to burn because they are good memories, but some others just keep on making us feel sad

[Alfred Kukitz]

I like the idea of burning yourself to be free. Novel idea! Your poem has a nice rhyme scheme but be careful Luzardo when you play with matches.

Regards,
Al

[Lizardo]

I love this so much!! First step is to let go! I enjoyed this poem, it takes me back to something i wrote and felt in the moment.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much!

Very sweet

I know the feeling of dying to have this one person break all barriers. Your defenses do not go on and off at pure demand sometimes you protect yourself by default and can't seem to find the switch off button. Until this one person who is brave enough to break all boundaries

And that's beautiful
You got something very special over here
and i love it

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much!

[Melinda McQueen]

A thoughtful write with much passion.

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much!

Wow

This is definitely esoteric

It borders on being dark but plays between the lines

This is a very ultimate expression of freedom

Told in a really kool way

I guess this is kind of dark but kind of not-so-dark at the same time, like you said, plays with two at the same time. Thanks Shaun, I really appreciete it!
