The Phoenix

I was fragile for a long time

burdened by attachments

burned by passion and desire

weakened by sorrow and grief

no matter how hard I tried to be strong

I kept tearing apart from inside

the feelings were chocking me

the pain was consuming me

the memories were hunting me

I tried to sweep it all away

and yet it kept finding a way back to me

I tried to glue my broken pieces

and it kept collapsing

but now it's the beginning of an era

I'm overcoming this flaw

spreading my wings

and sprouting from my wounds

so let the flames embrace my soul

let it burn to the core

cause I'm rising anew from my ashes
