through the pain to happiness

Remembering the pages of life I set alight, I watched them burn, staring down at all the past lives I have left behind, never again will I live the torture for now I am re-born, not a phoenix changed by fire and born from ashes but me, born of my own flesh and blood. There's is though no pain here, only the truth and beauty of my transformation, a reminder that "Yes I am alive" an idea that had been far from me for so long but now i have a new life that you all can see documented right here in these images, images that came from my new life one that has brought forth freedom and most importantly HOPE. I wish for you to see with more than eyes, see more than what is there this is a moment that has now past but the energy remains.
