Wash the flames with oxygen
Let it air dry out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swallow the anger
Let the passion glossen your eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absorb the white noise
Let it vibrate through your body and heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the fear guide you
Let the anxiety focus you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wash the flames with a lack of oxygen
Watch it fizzle and die out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spit out the anger
Watch it harden the passion in your eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bounce off the white noise
Deflect it all from your body and heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the courage direct you
Let the calmness distract you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And always remember
No matter what you do to cleanse yourself of intense emotions
Make sure to let the cycle end and begin something anew<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
