Building On Ashes

Building On Ashes

There are no words
So many people speak them though
They fly around, words
Without any meaning
for me

There are no words
There is no understanding
Not by me, or by anyone
No one can understand 
Nor do I

There is no freedom
It is just a word
When they said I was free
It meant nothing to me
Never will

I live in a prison
There are no words there
Nor is there freedom
I am not here anymore
I am new

A sort of Phoenix
Or Phoenix, just not glorious
Only new and barely alive
Building on ashes
Very new.
