the burning seat ...

to be on the edge
  of your memory's seat
while it's burning embers
   engulf your past
a forward move
    only fans the flames
a spit into its hell
     ignites lost nightmares
a snuffing try
      breeds self-contempt
no smother
      rids the horrors
no phlegm
     extinguishes hell
no motion
    cools the burn
sit in your seat
   of fiery by-gones
find comfort
  in its warming flames

Well MA I guess you're right you can't get rid of them so why not learn from them and allow the heat of the mistakes to warm the changes one can make......oh you know what I mean, something like that.

Awareness... a good thing... Not only can we find comfort in the security of our experiences, but hopefully we can learn from them as well.. Nice insights here, my friend..
