I Bet

Guess whose back, back again,
I bet you thought that was the end.

That I was tired, my voice gone,
That you knew this would happen all along.

That I tripped over tied laces, fumbled and fell,
That I was too weak to get up and rebel.

That I was bruised, hurt, and locked behind bars,
Ashamed of my flaws, ashamed of my scars.

Cut at the corners,
Pulled apart at the seams.
Trapped in an ever enclosing box ,
Hid from the sun and its beams.

But now I'm back from the dead,
Burnt from the ashes,
With my wounds, my scars,
Proud of my cuts and my gashes...
