My life burns down 'round my ears My pain a bright flame that sears No way forward can I see The world arrayed against me I'm cast into the Abyss Feels like there is no justice Reality, darkest fear I scream but no one can hear When I feel adrift at sea Farthest from my apogee Up from the ashes I shall soar Pain and sorrow will be no more My life's mission is polemics I rise, for I am the Phoenix!

I Am The Phoenix
My life burns down 'round my ears My pain a bright flame that sears No way forward can I see The world arrayed against me I'm cast into the Abyss Feels like there is no justice Reality, darkest fear I scream but no one can hear When I feel adrift at sea Farthest from my apogee Up from the ashes I shall soar Pain and sorrow will be no more My life's mission is polemics I rise, for I am the Phoenix!
The Phoenix has been a symbol of my life for as long as I can remember. Like the mythical bird, somehow, and often I don't know how...when my life burns down...I find a way to rise from the ashes!
