Here is the winning entry

New Beginnings 

 

I felt something detonate inside of my tired body

The pain of my memories

Made my chest explode

And as it ensued

My Screams rattled my crooked mouth,

despair crawled out from the depths of my heart,

And out through my skin

And with it

So did the tension,

The anger,

The Frustration,

I held against you.

 

When hell abated from my body,

I felt different

I felt new

I felt fresh

I felt free.

The tension I held in my heart,

Too close to my heart,

Was gone.

 

I had turned the pages of my life,

And what lay there,

Was a new chapter.

 

A new beginning.
