Becoming Again

Reya

I didn’t rise like fire —

I rose like forgiveness.

Lost me once, still trying,

sky’s the limit, I’m craving the climb.

Thoughts that once broke me

now make me alive again.

Words find me, like a heart reborn —

one heartbreak broke a million dreams,

but that heartbreak built me stronger —

heartless enough to fight for them again.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
