Poem Commentary

When I first got out of the emotionally abusive relationship I was in during in my senior year of high school, I was in utter denial that the abuse even occurred I found myself hiding myself from the world, shutting out those that cared about me greatly. After I was released from the hospital I fell into a severe depression it got so overwhelming that I almost ended my life. To this day I still have some pain from the relationship in my heart, I have come to use my pain to find hope in the ashes of pain and suffering which is what most of us struggle with today. Hope is out there you have to dig deep enough in the ashes of pain and suffering to find it. This piece dives into the aftermath of the emotionally abusive relationship I was in and how much of an impact it had on me. It also talks about how I chose to take my pain to find hope in the ashes of pain and suffering.

Lifted Out Of The Ashes.

When you and I parted ways,
You took an important part of me
with you.

You took my heart
and shattered it
like an expensive vase.

You took my sainty
when you left
leaving an empty hollow
shell in your wake.

You claimed
that you loved me
but all you did
was poison me
with your bitter words.

You taught me
that loving you
meant living
in fear

you taught me
that loving you
meant walking on eggshells
in your presence.

Because of you
Depression became
my bittersweet love
Because of you
Depression almost killed me
You broke my spirit
You took my will to fight away from me.

How does it feel knowing
that you nearly destroyed me?

How does it feel knowing
that I would never love someone like you again?

 I begged you to go away
but you continue to taunt me
You didn't love me
all you did was destroy my life.

When you and I were together
you took the role of God
and manipuated me
to be your slave
in your sick game.

I want you to know
that I have risen from the ashes
I am taking back the light
you stole from me.

I'm taking back my life
from your clutches.
I am no longer a slave
I am no longer your victim.


I have found hope
in the ashes of pain
and suffering.
I have risen
from the ashes
into a better tomorrow.

Today
a new awaken has come
for I have been freed
from your control
from your manipulation.

I am
a strong
couragous woman
I advise you
to stay out of my way.

I have risen from the ashes
of hate and despair
A new awaken has come
my battle cry
will be heard
throughout the cosmos.

I have risen from the ashes
a new awaken has come
hear my battle cry.

A new awaken has come.
I have risen from the ashes.

You know I have written a little self improvement book.. It's called " From the Ashes of Negative Thinking." That's a subtitle for my other book " Waiting on My Release. " I put these to small books into one book.. I am having them released by fall . well I hope so... The only reason why I said that is this poem reminded me of my book... Keep writing because that he didn't steal from you... Your exsperiance only helped your talent grow... Love and peace

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
