I died a little only to come back stronger
Now my heart beats faster and longer
I'll live for today, and ignore tomorrow
Live with serenity instead of sorrow

The most glorious feeling of this return
is that fact that I no longer feel this burn
The burn of emotions that I used to hide
I let them flow naturally with each stride

Poetry very well might have saved my life
It replaced all the drugs, violence, and strife
Keeping me focused and on the right track
Hello Poetry, I'm pleased to say, "I'm back!"
I took a few weeks off from writing to look back at the changes and progress I've made.
It was hard but it helped me ventilate a lot of the poison that was still lingering in my head.
I really want to thank all of you for your encouragement, motivation and inspiration.
I've accepted this community as a new family, and I love you all! Thank you! =)

Love,
Jimmy Ellis
