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…)










This is so powerful and touching. I am very impressed with you, your poetry as well as your commitment to personal growth
