Up In Flames

The greatest day of
my life was when I
came to myself and
found nothing there
I knocked on the
door to the cabin
of self-righteousness
I had constructed
in my heart and found
nobody home
I ransacked my memories
and found nothing
except a note on the
counter
"I'm loveable only because
He loved me"
is all it said
I recognized my own
handwriting and stood
perplexed
finally free
I burned the place down
and danced into
the woods
