Start, Stop

Remove the dead leaves
Peel off the old layers
Start all over when it all falls apart

Remove the medications
Peel off the dermal patches
Start all over when you have a broken heart

Retrace your steps
Pack your belongings in a case
Stop fighting all the good intentions

Retrace your roots
Pack your life into your bag
Stop wishing for the future, there is none.
