Sometimes it feels hard to breathe As of the world has conspired to push me down A weight lies heavy on my soul. The candle of hope burns low, Sputters out. Yet there have been darker days than this. Where hell's fires burned black. My soul in tatters. Shredded into so many pieces That it seemed there was no way for it to be mended. And yet... Hitting my lowest point And clawing my way back up A tattered Phoenix burned and scarred by the flames Gives me strength This, and only this makes me find my inner strength once more. What made, and makes, me weak Makes me stronger than you could imagine.

My strength
Sometimes it feels hard to breathe As of the world has conspired to push me down A weight lies heavy on my soul. The candle of hope burns low, Sputters out. Yet there have been darker days than this. Where hell's fires burned black. My soul in tatters. Shredded into so many pieces That it seemed there was no way for it to be mended. And yet... Hitting my lowest point And clawing my way back up A tattered Phoenix burned and scarred by the flames Gives me strength This, and only this makes me find my inner strength once more. What made, and makes, me weak Makes me stronger than you could imagine.
