A Rebirth

Today I realized I only had two options, evolve or die. I could hold onto the past and stagnate or I could burn it all and stomp it out under my boot heel.

I collected every bit of my past that was holding me back and piled it up. I poured lighter fluid on it and took an electric razor to my head until I was bald. I turned on Handlebars and sat down for a smoke.

When the song reached it's crescendo I flicked my cigarette onto the pile and watched it burn. Then when the flames were at their peak I jumped up from my chair and stomped them out.

I gathered up the ashes and threw them to the wind.

Who are you who does not know your past?

I am I.
