Bury My Soul

Bury my soul in autumn leaves
So that the wind might blow away
Memories of mistakes I made
That breaks my heart today

Sticks and stones can break the bones
But words can crush the spirit
Raise the bar but once again
And I'll still try to clear it

Nice write, but they help us and this is one of my favorite grook's The road to wisdom?—Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again, but less and less and less. — Piet Hein
