You Destroyed Me

A devastating storm you were
Hurricane Katrina on a warpath
Leaving no stone unturned
Incommunicado for weeks on end
Only breaking the silent pause
To spew words, acidic enough
To wipe off, corrode and disintegrate
My sanity, my identity and my being
Leaving me a shell of my former self

A reincarnation of Narcissus you were
A Greek Mythology in modern times
Concealing your true intentions
Of spite and contempt

But a rising Phoenix I am
Surrounded by the Amazons
My strengths and pillars
Stitching each scar one by one
