By Fire by T. Alisha Rogers

By Fire:

I am purified,

I am forced to face events

    That happened

I am forced to face pains

   I feel

I am forced to relive

   Ordeals

I am forced to conceive

   A reality

I am forced to acknowledge

   My status

I am forced to control

   Emotions

I am forced to face

  Tribulations

The Fire burns

   It hurts

   It lingers

From ashes

   May I rise.
