There is strong shadow where there is much light. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
I AM THE PHEONIX
Rising through the pain
born out of Ashes
I AM HERE AGAIN!
Desperation
Death
Hope & Fear.
Her will to live is why
I AM HERE
She left me her desires
her hopes
&
her dreams
And, most of her memories
amongst her dying screams.
OUT OF THE FIRE
Is how I’ve come to be.
Still covered in ashes
I must learn to be ME?
I AM FREE!!!
(The woman I was before my accident was timid, shy, and used to abuse.
The woman I am is still in the”toddler” stage of growth and ‘walking’ lol
but i am the strong one. One who is trusting enough to walk up to a stranger
and give them a hug if i think they need it, and do the best I can everyday,
even if its just making it to the shower because i’m weak that day.
It’s the beauty of life, of hope, & of dreams…)










An excellent trilogy indeed – it was a pity to find one that there has to be such trials, but then again, to appreciate you first have to know the other side – loved every word!
This is a poem of a strong woman… I am glad you are recovering in all aspects! Well done!
Love the symbolism of the Phoenix. And I could spend all day looking at those images.
I think we all have our hard lessons we have learned, yet to find the freedom of our own voice and our own way, in this there is strength… yet we can also lose sight of those lessons along our journey, then needing to relearn and rebirth! This trilogy speaks of many depths, many journeys far beyond your own. Brilliantly penned.
Hello.
All I can say is there’s only one you. Be the best you can be and don’t worry about anything else.
Best wishes.
bless all……….
well conveyed sentiments.
I was a self abuser using drugs and alcohol. Therapy and medication helps me get out of bed now. Rise Phoenix and fly!
well done..
everything has a cost, we learn and improve along the way.
A++

I must learn to be ME. That is as good as it gets. If you can not be yourself, no one else will take on the task for you.
