Old life dies as new life begins to breathe Rising from the ashes of my former self Becoming much more than I ever expected to be Transcending Reaching the heavens Screaming out all the pain Living, never regretting past mistakes Receiving Believing in what the white light sends Standing, fighting until the very end Hoping when everything is all said and done I will soar disappearing into the atmosphere To never return again Like the phoenix I will never die again
