A Poem

A survivor

A fighter

A lover

A writer

A poet of the soul

A body longing to be whole

Pieces understandably shaken

A woman longing to be taken

A friend, a carer, a holder of hearts

A winner, victorious;another new start

Complexity, wire-strung

Simplicity, fire-splayed

No longer afraid

A debt waiting to be paid

Sober at last

But dying fast
