I come from hellfire —
burnt flesh,
carbonized bones,
rising tall, anew.

I come from death,
from destruction and despair,
from the void,
from nothingness —
resurrected, alive.

I come from rage,
angry at the world,
aching for calm,
for once… just once.

Now I am whole —
kind, calm, awake,
breathing fresh air,
living freely, at last.
