Buried

What do I say? On this cherry day At my own funeral Where I execute and burry The Burdon I once carried Where I let go Of the life, I’ve faithfully married Rest in peace woman of excuses Who endured others abuses That never demanded an apology Or handed a lifeline to rescue me I put you to rest Ashes to ashes I bury the lashes From the wombs of untruth Sayonara Beautiful Liar Femininity…Of the enemy I bid you goodbye Au-revoir You coward The regret, guilt, and remorse Has run its course Bon voyage Weakened frailties That reigned champion in the lifelong fight of Me VS Me Grim Reaper you can keeper She was a stronghold I never needed her The sorrow of my soul I am let you go So that I can fly © 2018
