Some fires don’t burn you - they forge you.

A poetic journey through pain, purpose, and the quiet strength of starting over.

By Olena Published 7 months ago 1 min read

I wish I could do what I truly love

I wish I could go through lies and smile

Even when I know it's extremely hard

But I will ask for rain when it's fire.

I can forget and forgive, you name it

I can move on without looking back

But my heart is keeping all that songs you sent me

When we chose to burn this bridge again.

And I can start from scratch, you know it,

I'm gonna wait for sun to come,

I was about to leave my knowledge,

But this is what always lifts me up.

I still believe in silent answers,

In broken paths that still align,

In people leaving just to show me

How much strength was always mine.

I carry hope like sacred letters,

Folded deep inside my chest.

Even storms can feel like comfort

When I know I’m doing my best.

I'm always thankful for struggles walking

With me today and every other damaged day

They make me learn and realize that

My every “end” leads to “start” again.
