Like a Phoenix
Write a poem or story (fiction or nonfiction) about getting back up again after the very worse. After the pain, heartache, and depression. Write about what makes someone a phoenix that raises above it all.

Self Reflection

I

am no saint.

But my sins destroy me.

I

have done wrong.

But my rights are selfless.

I

am not perfect.

But my judgement is withheld.

I

walk a fine line.

Between moral righteousness

and self-hatred.

I

define

and redefine

myself.

I

burn that which no longer serves me.

Onewards, upwards

Through a spiral of ashes.
