Struggling to survive
Reaching out of the shadows
Stretch up toward the lightSetting roots, grasping
For a hand to hold, a home
Built of hope and loveTearing down fences
Burning bonfires of ‘what-ifs’
Phoenix from ashes

Wow. What an excellent writer you are. Outstanding.
It’s amazing how much can be said with so few words. Nice job.
The bonfires of the “what ifs” got me.
