From These Ashes I Rise

laying at the bottom of a dark abyss crying out, pleading in desperation up from these ashes i hope to rise fighting to emerge from this deep pit clawing my way through strife i climb cutting the strangling vines of fear wrapping tight around me, choking breaking free, through the darkness a ray of light and warmth cuts through seeing hope of making it out alive standing at the top you are waiting reaching out to take your offered hand giving me one last burst of strength you start to pull me up, till we lock eyes my smile fades, and my heart sinks as i read in your hateful piercing glare all the angry words that burn so deep noticing how i was fooled yet again trying to hang on, fear overtakes me my hand starts slipping from yours, pushing me, ripping your hand away sending me falling through anguish shattering as i crash back to the bottom all hope escaping, no strength remains as i land back down amongst my ashes.
