Exceptional ...from out of the ashes and darkness. My Life in words : Survivor by Jaq Cee Poem of the Month contest entry

Beaten, bruised, bowed and bludgeoned my fragile spirit besieged lies fervently faking feral noises while inside my self-esteem dies Darkness oppresses tortured mind shame-shriveled while soul cries Now tenuous sunshine stealthily creeps bringing hope to dry my eyes as furtive Phoenix from foul ashes fresh force finding watch me rise Unbowed, unbroken still standing tall now spirit surges, soars Unleashed, it flexes flies Recognized Author Notes Thanks to Rondeno for casting his eye over this and suggesting a couple of changes. It's how I learn. Thanks to Google for the picture.
