I rose up

and walked

away

from what I knew:

my comfort zone,

familiarity,

knowing what I had,

knowing what I

would never have.

I built my walls

and my own comfort zone,

became familiar with myself.

I have been lonely,

I have been broken,

I have felt hopeless.

But I rose

up

from my own

ashes…

I am

a phoenix.
