I am the Phoenix

Elegant_Style

Yesterday I was okay.

Yesterday there were people to wipe the tears away.

Yesterday I was not alone.

Yesterday I was whole...

But now I am shattered.

 

Pieces of porcelain skin

lay scattered on the ground.

The painted face is broken

into shards of decaying pottery.

 

The innocent smile

of a naive little girl

adorns the face of a woman

who broke away from the world.

The face is shattered,

can anyone show me the way?

 

The pottery shards

are sharp on my feet

as I rise.

 

The blood

flows fast

and hard.

 

I rise from the shards

of my old self

and into the skies of

my future

like the phoenix

rising from the ashes.

 

My blood waters the earth and I am free...
