harrowing wails awaken my bones
it is the Call of Mourning
farewell to the flesh and blood i once was
the core of my being answers to a new melody
As we enter the new year, I think of how people want to reinvent themselves or just become better versions of themselves. When it comes to someone looking to make a big change for the better, like someone whose done bad or just feels rotten all over, I think of it like how someone starting from scratch. Not just shedding their skin but stripping all the undesired, poisonous, rotten parts of themselves which can be hard and painful. But in the end you have the core, somewhere to start anew.
I also think of how trying to be a a better person is kinda like abandoning one tune that led you down a dark path and how answering a new one might sound so foreign to someone but it marks the end of one song and the beginning of another, better tune
