The Great Chicago Fire = My Last Relationship

Free-Thinking Friday 1 Minute

When tears transition from mourning to cleansing,

I stand back, amused, proud,

grateful for my strength, my fortitude, my ability to make skyscrapers out of rubble.

A city sitting on the ashes of painful memories,

the ground whispering tales of sadness and despair

but above it all,

I rise.

Watch me stand tall above every moment that would’ve and could’ve killed me.

I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love.
