Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes
I start life anew
A fresh, clean slate
I live with the things that happened
The horrors that haunt my dreams
And with my strength
I embrace the things to come
No person or event can ruin me
They only make me stronger, better
Positivity inked on my skin forever
A constant reminder of what is expected
What I expect of myself
strength
Perseverance
Love
The ability to love myself again
The ability to love others again
It is a long road that I must face
A constant battle with my worst enemy
Me, Myself and I
I am willing to take that risk
I am willing to fight the demons and the enemy
The challenge at hand
I crave it
I am ready for it
