Buried deep under conditioning
Buried deep under anxiety
A Phoenix is restless
She cries “set me free”

Message after message
Coming in on my phone
To tell me to watch my steps because the “devil will be creeping in my home “

But all I find is love
All I find is light
And my talons hit the surface of the lies I was taught and I push up from their theologies fright

I am supported by something
That I have always had inside
No book could ever give me
I am ready to fly.
