Rebirth- A Poem

Put the pen to the paper and the words eloquently flow

Like a serene woodland stream

Put the gun to my head and just let go, leave this life and all the pain I know

My blood and the water run as one, flowing sweetly, glints of red in the setting sun

As the blood leaves my body so does the pain, washing away like a summer's rain

Again I become one with the Earth, from my death a new birth

I rise like a phoenix from the ash, proud and tall and unabashed

With new feathers, with new form, with new life, unadorned

By the demons that haunt my past and the fears I once had

A new story begins, the ending unclear, with faith in my heart and no more tears

Do not mourn my timely death for a new life is all that's left
