Reborn From Ashes

Create, Destroy, Reborn

By Mercedes ChavezPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

I don't forgive you

Each tear I've shed because of you

Ripped open old wounds

Created new ones

And shattered my entire being

My body tried to tell me

My dreams tried to show me

God, why didn't I listen?

Was I foolish?

Was I blind?

Or the harsh reality?

I was a blind fool

I became everything I never wanted to be

I hate who I became with you

I made myself strong in all the wrong ways

Now, I have to destroy what remains of what we built

Rid the world of a monster

One unfairly created

And we pray...

Something beautiful will rise from the ashes.

Come with me, lets go on an adventure together, see the world through my eyes, let me paint a picture with my words, I promise you will be able to feel what I felt the first time I experienced it. Love, sadness and everything in between.
