Flush Them All Away

Sometimes, I feel there’s something wrong in me.
In these times, I relax myself and sit.
Then I think on how to put them off.
I don’t need them because they are just toils.
That’s why today, I’ve flushed them all away.

In some times, bad thoughts knock at my mind’s door.
But now, they will stop knocking anymore.
All those hurt… all those nightmares… all those fears…
I hate them and they’re not welcome in me.
That’s why today, I’ve flushed them all away.

I will never be left alone with pain.
I will never be alone in this place.
In the times I feel that there’s something wrong
I’ll go to be stronger and to stay strong.
All those bad things, I’ve flushed them all away.

I’ll let out things that make my life smelly
I do not wish for them to burden me.
I’m a free man… I don’t have heavy loads.
I choose to be strong and not just to sob.
Those heavy loads, I’ve flushed them all away.

This time my friend, I think it is your turn
Flush them all away, be a free person.

Flush, flush and away! Something new and unwanted each day. Think about it a little and then pray. Once flushed walk free as you may. Most certainly nothing to laugh at and trully quite clear to understand.

A thoughtful and analytical perspective. I like the way the poem liberates. It has a motivating effect . Flush the bad away, and start again. Best Steve
