This is a flag of victory
Being raised up into
The star speckled
Infinite sky
❀
I stitched my own wounds
With a burning needle and
A half-hearted, barely remaining
Will to survive
❀
I fought my own demons
Watched them win too many times
Drowned in a bedroom full of blood
Before finally slaying them
❀
This is a poem
Wrapped around the sun
Finally held in my hands
Unable to burn me after
I banished the darkness
❀
The epilogue was an apocalypse
But the sequel is
Fireworks at sunrise
