Renew
~~~
I must purge
Throw off the negative
In a shuffling of the mind
Exhaling the unwanted
The unneeded
The misled
~~~
Exhausting the world
And its darkish stains
Sullied upon the good
Pushing out the ugly
The uncaring
The bled
~~~
Cast off the shadows
Black corners deep
The scent of decay
Parsed from the soul
The unholy
The bred
~~~
I must scrape
Old layers to the new
Free what lingers
The rot of old thoughts
The ancient
The dead
~~~

We could all use some spring cleaning of the mind once in a while. Added to the list!!
