Released From The Ashes
A smoke filled room
where my sins stain the walls
here loneliness abounds
regrets eat a hole in my soul
littering my mind
painfully I crash
agaist the breakers of my heart
feelings are alien to me
as if some strange tree
has sprouted and taken root within my being
tendrils of hope
creep in my smokey dungeon
I pace amongst the ashes of my past
my inner child burned huddled
lost among the dark shadows
in the corner cold and afraid
I lost the key to let her out long ago
amongst the debri of hate that engulfed me
slowly I unlock the door and tenderly embrace her
She is me, I am her
still shaken but alive
i'm taking hold of hope
slowly I turn and look
with eyes so attuned to the dark
at a bright future that causes my eyes to tear
no longer will I be trapped
in the nether land of rage
and self hate.

Great talent indeed,

Much enjoyed.

Glad to read such a positive and hope filled end to this one, sadly beautiful throughout. I love the short, powerful stanzas..so well done that they could each stand alone as juicy little writes. A great write. My fav. part is
tendrils of hope
creep in my smokey dungeon
I pace amongst the ashes of my past
^^^^that's awesome but I love it all. peace n love
