Flames of an Open Pyre

Flames of an Open Pyre

A Poem by NelliKong

My old self is bursting into a ball of flames… the burning flesh of some I no longer want to claim… during away all the pain… the ashes will be a reincarnation of lessons I will gain.


As the fire burns this decaying corpse… I debate about what’s the next action of course…. this fire was the only source… the other part of me couldn’t handle the pressure and wanted a divorce… due to the lack of support.


Now the old version of me is burned to a crisp… I’ve shed my old skin and now completely stripped… now the new me will have to embark on this new risk.
