HowIHadToDo

I had finally realized 
that the ground beneath 
my feet was barren 
incapable of bearing fruit 
so I laid waste 
to everyone I knew 
marched to the bridges 
connecting me to them 
and set them ablaze 
next it was fields
and finally my home 
It was then I 
knew that everything I’d 
known was finally gone 
enriching the earth itself 
preparing it and me
for the next harvest
