Born From The Ashes Poem by Stephanie Blake

My quieted voice is now screaming
The pain inside my heart is bleeding
My damaged body is healing
From the pain that you caused

I was immersed in your darkness
My eyes almost forgot how to see
I was crumpled on your mattress
And you were standing over me

My fragile body was a vessel
Use until thrown away
My mind was taken for granted
And I almost faded away

I once was your poor play thing
Smashed into a thousand shards
Now I am older and recovering
I am healing these old scars

I’m taking back my body
I’m taking back my soul
I’m here at last to prove
That I am in control
