Rebirth
I am here, a small living sprout.
I rise from the feathery grey ghosts of past attempts to smother me.
A sigh of blissful relief, at last.
The necessary carnage I have endured has only helped me to grow.
I am here, a life nestled in death,
cradled by the hardships that now nurture me.
All the strength and determination to come this far,
held within this seedling form.
I am here, and I rise.
My branches will unfurl from my core and reach toward the sun.
The elements shall raise me to be strong and stubborn,
I have survived and will live on.
I am here, a phoenix of determination,
living through the trials of mortality.
Nothing is impossible,
and I am the proof.
I am here, thriving,
at peace, knowing things can be overcome,
and nothing is the end.
A never-ending cycle of rebirth.
