A poem of redemption and renewal...soft reflection of who you were and are and continue to become! I found it hopeful. It is never too late to gather up our pieces and reinvent the whole

A very interesting piece indeed. The closing line says it all. We need to believe in ourselves.

Loved these lines:

Resurrection
The Phoenix flies again

Certainly didn't find anything to suggest for edits or corrections.

All the best.

Your beautiful verse is nicely matched by the lovely picture of the Bird of Paradise.
Well written, well said. We should all believe in ourselves and accept who we are, the good and the bad. Sometimes those are equally hard to admit.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I just love the short, concise words with which the author describes the emotion in this poem. Sometimes big words can suffocate the message. Brief words or phrases in their simplicity speak more and mean more, as what you did here. Very well done.

Such a great U2 tune. They have written some wonderful music and lyrics over a lifetime. This is most uplifting Victor and it's exactly the kind of inspiration we all need.

Great job and many thanks for sharing. :)

Hello Victor!
Your well-crafted free verse poem speaks volumes. You've made mistakes. You've been to hell. And now:
With
Or
Without help

I will be...
once again

~~~~
I sense hope when you end your poem with "Believe in yourself"
That's so important.
Sometimes, it's the only person in your corner...

Keep believing!
