Life III: Phoenix
I stretched my arms to those
Of my family and friends, but
No matter how hard I try
My demons are too powerful.
“You are a failure!”
“Just give up!”
I crashed and I burned, and my
Demons accomplished their goal.
My mind becomes flooded with
The ashes, still smoldering with
The Evilness of my demons and
Their words of discouragement.
I open my eyes and I see a light;
It shines so bright I become blind.
A voice I hear from the light and
I could not believe that I hear.
“Rise my child, from the ashes
You’ll grow.
Stronger, better, and brighter
Than before are you.
Rise my child, and spread your
Wings.
Your family and friends will guide
You along your way.
Your journey was harsh and filled
With so much despair.
The ups and downs, your journey
Was no a roller coaster ride.
Close your eyes and listen to
My voice.
Let it fill your mind with
Warmth, Love, and Happiness.
Your demons thought that they
Have succeeded.
But it is you who have succeeded
Thanks to everyone around you.
You have succeeded by knowing
Your demons.
Now wage war against them, and
Your demons will fall.
Rise my child, become the
Phoenix.
You are better than your past,
Reborn into Greatness.”
The Phoenix I am gives me strength.
Anxious I am, but fearful I’m not.
I am excited for a new beginning
And nothing can hold me back.
I am a Phoenix, stronger than before.
I close my eyes, spread my wings,
Hold my breath, and I break through
The Darkness of my mind.
