To Exit Out The Soul

 

I have to pave

This road

Free of chasms

 

Otherwise

My wings will be

Split

Immediately

 

And my cloths

Cloths of

A prisoner

 

 

Positive Psychology

 

Giving thanks is the understanding we

Won something not necessary we

Deserve it

 

And a grace is the theological term -

To thanks giving, it’s a free gift

 

I have failed in this subject and confessed

That he hasn’t rested me of

Empty words

And of

Another exploded admonishment.
