Burning hot oil.
Dripping down my mouth
and I suck it in
greedily.
Running through my insides
makes my chest hot, bubbly
scalding my intestines
all the skin of my esophagus burned off
& I jump around
sloughing off what's left
just burnt pieces mostly &
some blood
those little curvy neck bones
whats left is me
and I am so thankful for
the burning hot oil
for burning my body and leaving
me.
oh, how delicious.

I swear, I'm not being morbid :D This poem is about those hard situations God puts you through that change you. And how It hurts at the time, but after awhile it makes you into the person you want to be.
