Write a story/poem about reincarnation/rebirth/past lives.
'Past lives' is a beloved trope of fiction, and just because it is common doesn't mean there isn't room for new stories/poems! Just like the fact a million lives came before you doesn't make YOU any less unique. Any genre, from sci-fi to horror, romance to fantasy, is welcome.

Rebirth

A curse passed down generations,

Through the sanctity of blood

Placed centuries ago,

A hex to last for eternity

A young girl of the family

Fated to live, and inevitably die again,

Horribly, without mercy

On a certain day,

Repeated over and over again,

She awakens

Given another chance at life,

Allowed to experience its brilliance,

Only for a brief time

Suffering from the past mistakes

Of her own family,

The girl eventually fades,

Memories and love ripped away

The girl has lost count

Of all the times it's happened,

Her past lives converging

In a never-ending cycle of pain

Each time, she wonders

When will she truly

Be allowed to live
