Born Again

She looked up in the mirror
To see herself crippled with pain,
To see how love had pierced her heart,
To see how her tears flowed in vain.
She tried to forget
All the pain she felt,
She tried to smile
But her heart rebelled.
The noises in her head
Broke her like a shallow dream.
She clutched onto her hair
And let out a painful scream.
She was lost in the pit of agony,
Engulfed by her darkness and fear.
Then came a roar from deep within her
That made her lose her last tear.
She looked at herself yet again,
Only to see herself reborn with love.
She knew it that very second,
There were other plans for her made by the God above.

A powerful message in the poem. We must reach the bottom to know peace and understanding.
"Only to see herself reborn with love.
She knew it that very second,

I like the story leading to the good ending. We learn our purpose and reason for life, then we can live. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
