Challenge
Write a story/poem about reincarnation/rebirth/past lives.
'Past lives' is a beloved trope of fiction, and just because it is common doesn't mean there isn't room for new stories/poems! Just like the fact a million lives came before you doesn't make YOU any less unique. Any genre, from sci-fi to horror, romance to fantasy, is welcome.
Rebirth
A curse passed down generations,
Through the sanctity of blood
Placed centuries ago,
A hex to last for eternity
A young girl of the family
Fated to live, and inevitably die again,
Horribly, without mercy
On a certain day,
Repeated over and over again,
She awakens
Given another chance at life,
Allowed to experience its brilliance,
Only for a brief time
Suffering from the past mistakes
Of her own family,
The girl eventually fades,
Memories and love ripped away
The girl has lost count
Of all the times it's happened,
Her past lives converging
In a never-ending cycle of pain
Each time, she wonders
When will she truly
Be allowed to live
