I am not a ghost ive burned these bones, and sent my soul back home i am not a ghost im learning patience, grace, and self control i am not a ghost looking for a hand to hold ive planted a seed in roots too deep in echoes of hallways across the sea inner beauty and tales of conquering im redefining myself in storied words of triumph and self-defeat i am not a ghost for you can breathe me in i am not a ghost exhale me softly ill take on your sins i am not a ghost chaotic equations of love and hate burying a past, cleaning a slate restoring innocence of of the purest state i am not a ghost of past or present i am a man of neither tomorrow nor today leaving softly, i close my eyes i am not a ghost
