Sitting alone listening to the silence ;

You see me, mirror says, I messed my life up  

and found me in the process, rebirth, new me  

and the critics, stand back with amazement,  

write off, like I was, never made  

to amount to much, much I  

do, much I did, brought  

tears in rain wash,  

many men, cursed  

to, see 

the 

back  

of me,  

talk of me,  

like I was the  

end game, see me done,  

see me done now, write off,  

good riddance, they took my file, and 

burnt it,  faders, ashes, to  be made of 

me. Being through hell and back, I paid the 

price , phoenix, me that, now I step, foot steps left 

in ashes, watch germination, shooting stars penetrate through, the ozone, 

layer, to make an entry, with burns on 

the back of the doubters, doubt this, new 

era and I say no sorry,  nada, 

regrets nada, this is life lessons 

and it made me stronger 

made me stranger, green 

lantern and to 

the observers 

thinking 

blown 

off
thinking
blown 
off
