A sapling emerges from the ashes (poem)

I feel broken, bruised,
abandoned in a desolate wasteland,
isolated even from myself.

It's as if nothing could work,
as if I'm missing gears,
as if my programming is corrupted.

And yet I feel strong, renewed,
as if I've found an oasis
that was there all along.

Our breakup was a wildlife
that turned my home to ash,
leaving me alone in the darkness.

But a sapling emerges through the ashes,
bursting forth like a phoenix reborn,
as if the flames had planted it themselves.
