Flight Towards The Vermillion Sunset (Repeat)

Folder: 
"Poem Highlights"

As these painful feelings are released from my heart,

I know I will still remember all of them.

But I will fly away unburdened by these emotions.

All I've felt fettered me to the ground.

All I've weeped destroyed my wings of flight.

But the vermillion sunset shines upon my countenance

to forge my tattered wings anew.

Thus reborn from my fathomless sorrows

I stretch my contained wings from my imprisonment.

Fresh as the morning flowers bloom I fly towards the vermillion sky.

With new life within me no longer will I have irrepairable wings.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I can be freed if I want to. I can be freed if I don't want all the negativity to get to me. Though sometimes you want to forget a memory or if you attempt to repress it, I learned it never leaves you. Sometimes the strongest emotion you felt in an event is never forgotten. Whether it may be fear, anger, sorrow, or regret, it stays with us. And with emotion the memory you want gone is still there. But eventually we all bring a sort of "death" to it and in doing so, we move forward with these memories with us. As with death, so there's also life. And for me, this is a new beginning...

A brilliant piece that is deeply written from the heart, and is also something that I would've written down myself, and yet, you seem to have captured the essence of what you were feeling at the time when you wrote this!! It's amazing to see how a talented writer like you can actually bring out such an amazing sense of ability to what you want to say!! It shows everything that you're dying to express to the world about the true emotions that you have inside!! The true colors that just fly out and free itself from being held back!! =)
