Beauty from Ashes?

Today...with heart torn to shreds, dreams shattered, mind like a jigsaw puzzle with hundreds of missing pieces, self-confidence and self-esteem beaten down, body shaking with exhaustion, unable to eat or sleep, I begin to question everything and trust no one...


Tomorrow...I know I will be made strangely and unexplainably calm, beautiful, and stronger...in spite of and yes, quite ironically because of, all the scars from the expected battles and mostly unexpected and unjustified assaults and ambushes from all the yesterdays...
