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
