I had to burn down this house;
it wasn't home anymore.
All the memories I held dear
disappeared in flame and smoke.
I was left only the bare walls
and an empty heart.
I lost what weighed me down;
I felt finally free.
I had to start anew.
I had to rebuild myself
from the ashes.
I had to collect the embers
and piece them back together.
But through the fire,
I made myself stronger.
