A chance to rise

And I'm guarded, like I'm wounded, my first instincts, are to find a hole, dig in, seek ascendance I wanna lighten my dark, I wanna swallow the sun, I wanna feel single; one of one— I wanna spark transcendence To feel the pulse of life in every sad heartbeat So I fire the dreams where passion finds defeat Flame fueled, flowing forever forgoing deplete Phoenix rise singular; not to be repetition, like a parakeet
