Coat

i take of this coat. 
this coat with stains of blood and tears. i give it to you. tucked along with all my fears.  
my pain is eased. my spirit set free. 
i see a new world, as i open my eyes. things are more vivid now. a beautiful suprize. 
i cant believe i was missing this.  my scences are revived. 
things dead in the past are new and alive. 
take that coat and burn it. and then let it be. 
all youll see now, is whats really supposed to be; whats really me.

good concept there Sarah. Perhaps, a pass through spell check if the mis spellings were not intentional they distract from the power of the verse. Light & Love Debbie
