Rebirth

It's coming back

My spirit, love, joy

Man where's this been?

Don't try to hold me back.

I'm coming up 

To reclaim what's mine

To build myself back

To my former glory

Mend every crack

She kept me down

For all these years

My growth was stalled

My joy only crawled

She can't do it now

I broke these chains

She cried in horror

I left with these pains

I'm coming back

To take what's mine

Let go of the past

Fine, dine, and wine

She maybe alone now

Hunting another fool

Milking another cow

Using another tool

But I'm comin' alive

Leavin' the dark hive

Going to the light

I won this fight

I absolutely love this poem. The story is very nicely told, it seems of a love that had gone wrong/didn't work out in the end however did not result in the one individual losing all hope. The poem tells of a hope restored in that this person was able to move forward and back into returning to being who they were again and finding that inner peace and joy inside as well. Who knows what the future holds but this tells that there is light still existing and to be enjoyed. Nicely done!

But good for you! Don't let her win. If you can take your personhood back, you are the winner!

A powerful and a wonderful poem shared. I liked the energy of the words leading to the proper ending. Thank you my friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

Wow! Crazy good work right here. I could see it being spectacular as a song too! You have to rise up and stand up for yourself. As you said, "to reclaim what's mine." I especially love the ending as well!

I'm glad you think so. I just let the feeling come to me and found the words. And I've gotten a lot of reviews saying some of the stuff I write should be songs, but who would sing them? Thanks for reviewing.

[Alyssa Carlstrom]

Well I love to sing! Haha. If you're seriously interested, you could check out Fiverr.com and see if there's any postings for people that sing.
