#cleanse
I have trouble with short form, but why cut the fun short? what is ten minutes of my day when the rest of the week is eager to ruin it

Monday rebellion
I'm slowly cleansing content from my feeds I'm so impressionable, it disgusts me but I want to use it to my advantage I know who I want to become, So I'll only look at things related

the ghost in the window has returned he knows he knows when you believe him gone his patience you cannot outmaneuver patience he watched us grow from grunts to talkers he knows what you are thinking tomorrow you can only win by giving in ask him nicely to leave then beg then cry you may find peace long after your tears are dry

the ghost in the window
Noisy Mind Looping Looking for its way out As it feeds on a drama This is not even mine. Deep breath. A pause. Some clarity. The mind fights. I'm still here. In my point of presence. Come home. We are here now. It will wash away. The waves cleanse As they reverse away from the coast the undercurrent pulls back into me. I AM beholden to no one. I AM unto my own. I AM here for me. As the separation fades. I can see.

* *Days upon months and months upon years I keep to false smiles while on the palms of sadness Bathing in remorse, I wish to be cleansed and raise with integrity, climb with dedication and smile with compassion* *

My Hands
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, [e]converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the [f]honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. 13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of [g]great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [h]strength and my Redeemer.

PSALM 19 VERSES 7-14
The hot shower water embraces me, cleansing me from the outside world. Sometimes it takes my tears, and often takes my pain. I'm stripped of the negative thoughts, as they hurry down the drain.

Sterilize
Came into life on this very planet Full of water, land, and pomegranate Given a light to block out the night The star of flame, what a sight! That boils our body and peels the skin This isn’t paradise for it’s full of sin Planet full of fun and games Oh, that’s not true? What a shame A place where nightmares come to life Bond with one other person and call them a wife Society isn’t built on the foundations of purity Charity is old, hide your insecurity Keep those emotions locked in tight Hide indoors from the sunlight The cruel and beautiful paradox Human life controlled by clocks Where is my guardian? Where is our hero? The truth is there’s absolutely zero Yet, still, we all have dreams We aren’t hostile cause we make teams I haven’t yet found my hope Hanging off the end of a rope Want to clean the corruption with a bar of soap

[Review]
it's a massive sigh, almost an exhale of stress. it's the tension unraveling  from knotted shoulders. it's when hearts stop running  and simply stroll. it's the moment of recovery between profuse tears  and hopeful reassurance. it's the drop of calm  that spreads over the lake. it's when the sun stretches its rays  from behind the clouds. it's the beginning of the end and the start of a new beginning.

catharsis.
I remember this feeling Dizzying, exhilarating I’ve let the darkness in too far And for far too long I need to irradiate myself In the light of hope I’ve been here before And it’s so intoxicating It feels honest and exciting But I’ve been swallowing lies I need a detox of truth

Detox
It rumbles softly Cascading off leaves with grace Falling with intentional chaos Cleansing the Earth With revitalising purity

And it rained...
Flowers sways happy The cool winds gives gentle kiss Water flows grateful Let my flames burn bright Let my wealth flow steadily Let my mind have peace The grass can now breathe They can drink from life's essence and rise again strong

Nature
I'm transparent like a window but I'm prone to keeping curtains closed to cover up my youthful, aching, naked soul. I used to be promiscuous; my essence on my sleeve. a charming laugh; a crystal glass from which many a fool drew drink. A chalice of life; warm like cinnamon wine, soft like angel's delight. Beheld by every eye. But it never felt right; I was smoke off a fire, yet still smouldering coal. Just a young, beautiful byproduct of desire. There's no smoke without fire. Although, I tried to fan it cool; the flames ran only wilder. But as the old wind blows, it seems a withered tree still grows new leaves. A dandelion spreads its seeds but they lie far away from me. Now, I move transcluently- ultraviolet invisible ink- I speak in soothing whispers; they travel further than you'd think.

Lesson Learned #87
doubt fills my head until I am drowning in it even when I come up for air, another wave crashes over trapping me under the surge of the tide a relentless sea to cleanse this relentless mind but I don't feel cleansed for my thoughts are broken and scattered like pieces of glass on the sand where waves crash trapping me under the surge of the tide a relentless sea and this broken mind

suffocation
And like that she became wet. ********** before she bathed in the storm. Umbrella left home, by the door. She wanted to be cleansed. Clothes thrown to the side. Where's the fun in being dry. To rush every moment that craves to be moist. Splashing in puddle after puddle. The Infatuation of being free. The depth of being caught in a portrait just before it drys. Covered in layer after layer of heavy blue. A foam of white. A kiss that quenches every thirst. Our lips the brush that sops the wetness. Forever more. To purposely be caught without an umbrella
