It seems to me as if the person in your poem is fighting off, barely, something dark and sinister and deadly. Many meanings can be drawn from this poem. I also saw it as willing to go on in dark times. It's wonderful, either way. Great work.

This was an assinment wasn't it-I can tell because its so you, while so unlike you at the same time.D.

Wow! Great poem. :) I especially liked the line "I watch as the ashes of my life flourish within the cinders". Good job, keep it up!
