Miracle in the Flames
Not everything in life is good. But you can take something good from everything in life.
Flames high
Choking smoke
Devastation
In a flash
Everything gone
A house
Takes a house
Trembling with fear
Fear of everything lost
Years of work
A lifetime, burnt and lost
But no
What’s this
There, paper left so carelessly
Unkept by the naivety of a child
Protected by fate
Manuscripts
Papers that should have burned
Been drowned
Protected
By a flimsy thing
Called luck
About the Creator
Chantae Harding
Time to be honest and cut the crap. I love to write! I always have. I lost that for a while. I am here to grow, learn, and experience my own writing process. If you don't like my writing that's ok. I'm still learning.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
