Burning

Mar 11 07:38 UTC 1999

I burn.
Fire in me,
Burning.
Old scars torn open,
Made new
And new again.
Burning.
I weep with pain.
Want to smother it:
The pain.
Burning.
Blinded by pain.
Agony!
Light!

The fire dies.
Pain fades.
I am a phoenix
Made new in the flames.
Dusting the earth with ashes
Made from my scars.

This is the poem I promised.  I just wrote it this second.  Hope you 
like it.  It's inspired by the same series of events as Jon's P.T.S.S. 
poem is.  Comments?
