Homage to Image

Pick your pain, if you like:

Regret, disappointment, betrayal,

rejection, defeat,

total annihilation of your

Image

It will be terribly hard to let it go,

To drop it into the flames

That lick at your soul.

But when the heat begins to

Scorch your hands,

You will, thankfully,

Have no other choice

But to drop what you thought

Was your very soul,

And find cool comfort in knowing,

Without a doubt,

You still exist!
