How To Get Rid of Ghosts

Apr 5, 2024

--

laugh with a snort

be imperfect

let it all out

no fear

ghosts feed on fear

they’ll only haunt you

if you let them

clear your space

they get caught in cobwebs

they only stay when

it’s room to play

so cry it out, baby

don’t be nobody’s maybe

don’t let them take

the you-est part of you

your trust

your vulnerability

your laughter

with snorts, of course

they’ll leave when

you’re unapologetic

they’re terrified of you

so breathe

and play

and liiiive baby…

live.
