Phoenix

Posted byRitaPosted inPoetry, WritingsTags:, ,

So afraid to make a mistake

So afraid to fail

What will happen when I do

Because it’s only a matter of time

There is no one left to hurt me

Well, almost no one

Soon no one

I will rise again

As I have before

Rising again from what once was

And no longer is

Free again

But for how long

  1. A touching poem. It makes us think, are we ever really free? Being afraid of making mistakes is I think a common symptom of PTSD. I have it too.
