Pheonix

Floating to the surface
Opening the eyes
The lightbulb goes off.

Slowly disconnecting
pulling
away from the past
cutting the loose threads from
the used-to-bes
and the possibly-s.

Rising from the ashes
the charred remains
the broken
burned
and decapitated lies
that once took over my life.

Like the overcoming
of the tyrant,

I awaken.

    Well done. I enjoyed reading this. I like the way it was written and the point of view it comes from.
    "Cutting the loose thread from the used-to bes
    and the possiblys" - I like that.
