Wasting away
It is change inside;
wasting away,
returning to a beginning,
a stature of younger days.
Burning up inside,
wasting away,
a body grown of fear,
is denied the temptations
upon which it fed.
My clothes don’t fit me,
family and friends are alarmed;
what I do seems excessive,
to die in order to live.
I look like a tree in winter,
void of leaves,
each spiny bone of my body
exhibited like branches
on a cold, clear winter day.
I have gone so far back
but I know I must travel further
to find my answer.
All I have done wrong,
every sin of mind, body, and soul
must be redeemed,
and as each cell burns away,
I am one step closer to forgiveness.

aum
an inward mind is blessed in its potency to reach source.
beautiful in the ability to cry from the heart's core!
