Rose from the ashes,
brought back from the devil.
Drowning in acids,
we are on another level.

Trying to defeat,
swallowing darkness through the night.
But I won’t be beat,
I’m not giving up on another fight.

Quick to forget,
yet easy to come back.
Covered me with cold sweat,
while you attack.

let me go,
can’t you you read my mind?
It’s screaming no.
Still your so kind.

Phoenix


The phoenix flies throughout my life;
Fire wings send it flying so high.
As it rises up into the sky,
It disappears and reappears, back at my side.


From my hands it goes out to search the land;
The ashes of love are the only traces I have.
Once it was here, but now my phoenix has gone;
I know one day it will return and I will be reborn.


Letting go of holding it tight;
I let my phoenix fly off into the night.
In summer it died, burnt to a crisp by the golden sun,
But the phoenix’s life returns with another one.


Immortality is just a fantasy,
But the phoenix flies eternally.
The flames of love burn endlessly.
My phoenix exists inside of me.

The feeling of my intention was clear.
At one time or another.
"Find a place to share what's inside."
"Maybe, maybe it'll fade, at least for awhile."
"Mix it up a bit, shine light where you spread the dark."

Suffice it to say, I'm worried this won't turn out the way I had hoped.
It's not to say I'm on the brink of the end,
But at the moment in this lifelong battle, when my eye flickers to a detail I missed.

There's a ***** in my armor.
A small sliver.
As that unwanted passenger swings it's blade once again, sparks fly, and in that second of light, revealed.

The sliver is now a crack.
I can't seal this and sooner or later it'll spill out.
I just wish, one day, it'll stop.

Until then, I'll burn away and rise from the ashes like a phoenix to continue this infinite cycle.
Sorry if you're reading this. I actually wanted to mix my post with positivity but I'm definitely at a low point more often nowadays. It happens and I'll bounce back. I just didn't want anyone to think this was about self harm. It isn't.

I am the queen
of a beige colored box
with a pretty paper lantern
and discarded ***** socks

My lover is
a magic man
with a tender, fragile heart
we bring together seamlessly
lives from worlds apart

I come from
a pass-through town
a state for changing pace
a place with concrete skillets
and a rugged kind of grace

My kingdom is a sorry sight
my lover makes me bawl
my hometown holds my heartbreak
But no one has it all

I thought about my life today
and all it’s little pieces
I gather up my favorite ones
and all my worry ceases

In this life, feet catch fire
and
people burn

Remember your dream
when
it is your turn

You will see your ashes
but
you will manage to breathe

If
you sustain the flames
inside
your dreams

Your ashes will float
and
shimmer like gold

You will rise as a
Phoenix
with wings to behold
When a cycle ends, a new one begins. Stay true to your dreams, persist.

I'm so scared.
Such unbearable fear.
All the feelings that I've buried in myself so as not to draw more grief into my life.
These feelings are taking my breath away.
I'm so tired.

I would like to entrust myself to someone who does not condemn me, because it is easier for him than understanding.

I stand before a gorge of emotions - for this world too much to endure.
Perfect love .... do you feel the same way?
I am afraid of the truth.

When I close my eyes, I see the flame blazing. What power it unfolds when I allow all love. What love can I unite in me. Pure uninhibited love.

Love that is given to me.
Love that was withheld from me.
Love that I refuse to myself.

I would like to close my eyes and surrender to this love, burn up in it to rise again like a phoenix from the
ashes.

I'm less afraid to die than to live.

apologized my bad English, can someone turn the text into a poem? I have not written anything in English for 22 years....

Everytime someone comes by
Staring, straight into my eyes
My lips curve up wandering into a smile, waiting
For them to utter that very first note
Like a key turned in the lock
Opening my heart and spilling out oceans of secrets and dark thoughts.
The skins of my eyeballs itch, reaching out to touch
The image of the rare human
Standing right in front of me.
Tiny claws from my body reach out to pop that bullet-proof bubble embracing me,
Igniting all my flames like a phoenix.
But no.
They walk away.
Like everyone else.
Leaving me in the bottomless pit of despair
Like the dark's comapny
Hiding me like a secret
That's to be forever kept.

How my soul longs to hold

such poetic pearls within its atmosphere

To be free at will,

to cast them on to the masses

as some psudo manna from heaven

Hung on some ethereal frequency

Where  the lost wander aimlessly

Waiting for the Glistening words

To breathe new life into a phoenix

Rising from the ashes

In a sea of coalesced stars

To enrich my own.

People break
Reasons there are many
I wish I knew how to fix the world
Everything around me
Seems to crumble
I just want it all to stay
But what I need the most
Seems to run away
I don’t know if I need love
Or just some company
Someone to sit beside me
So I won’t feel so alone
Some days I look down at my shadow
And think “you only leave my side at night”
That’s when I need someone the most
My thoughts eat away at my soul
Like a pack of wolves hunting prey
My mind is weak from all these thoughts I locked inside me
Like a volcano the pressure just keeps rising
I’m going to blow the top
See my head pop like a magnum to the dome
Blood would spill like lava hot to the touch
My body in time would turn to ashes
Then my broken self
Would rejoin the world
Like a phoenix from my ashes I will rise again .
