Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes I start life anew A fresh, clean slate I live with the things that happened The horrors that haunt my dreams And with my strength I embrace the things to come No person or event can ruin me They only make me stronger, better Positivity inked on my skin forever A constant reminder of what is expected What I expect of myself strength Perseverance Love The ability to love myself again The ability to love others again It is a long road that I must face A constant battle with my worst enemy Me, Myself and I I am willing to take that risk I am willing to fight the demons and the enemy The challenge at hand I crave it I am ready for it
