Left at the fire station shortly after birth, as a young child, I didn't know self-worth. Shipped on from foster home to the next, my life was so difficult and very complex. In the midst of it all, I fell in love with me, I rose from the ashes of hurt and obscurity. A strong warrior emerged, ready to fly high, above a prison of hurt, where I was left to die. I am Phoenix with strong and resilient wings, ready to take on life no matter what it brings. *Fictional write Submitted To:Phoenix Rising Contest Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker 03/23/2021
