Sitting back and thinking that

Ruin was the end 

It being the final collapse

The point of having no return

Standing the in the mess

Of everything i thought i needed

I was finding pieces of myself

That i forgot was there

Going through the ashes

And finding strength

Still warm

Still alive

Finding the hope

Behind the rubble

It was waiting for me

To find it again

Finding the foundation

Stronger than one

It started with

It not being innocence

But it was truth

I not who i was

Before the breaking

I’m someone who rebuilt 

Redesigned

Reborn

Not despite the ruins

But because of them.
