My bonds are broken! I am FREE.
Demons of the Past
You were Bound and expunged
From my body.
You were tar around my heart
Tar that was my vile emotions
Congealed into this sticky hell
That held me to smoking cigarettes.
You could not last though.
You could not stand up to MY STRENGTH.

I travelled to Heaven
Saw my past self.
Went to the Great Lake
And received medicine.

The first gift of medicine
Went to my solar plexus.
The second gift
Was meant for my heart.
It is then that I felt the block
And I saw the blocks right away.
I took that tar
And threw it away in the trash.
I would've been there for hours
But I didn't care
I didn't want that tar there anymore.
A friend
A healer
Ripped out three big globs.

I came back down
To my new self
With a new heart
Stronger than Ever!
You are NOTHING.
You will NEVER enter my body again!
Once I placed you in the trash
I grabbed my flaming sword and took one swipe
You BURNED and the smell
Old rotted burning flesh
Gagged me and I had to step away
But you were DESTROYED.
I won't even miss you!

Heart was sore
And now it's healed.
I haven't smoked in 42 hours
And I am doing just fine.
And to think I thought it was me
All this time.
