I Claim My Ashes
“I Am
Despite you.
Suffocated spirit
I made my heart an ember box.
Hiding behind conformities façade
Inwardly embracing the burning
Nurturing the coals
I danced till my ashen covered feet
Sparked the ember
In the tinder of possibility.
Wings unfurled & lifted
The gift of changing winds.”
