I Am a Phoenix

I’m a phoenix 

Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust 

I’m a shadow of who I once was

A dim reminder of who I am now.
A twisted soul of pain 

A heart stabbed by many knives

Yet from the ashes I rose 

Rose like a fiery Phoenix 

Fiery triumphant I rise all powerful burning the eyes all those who tried to destroy my heart and soul.
Proving I can rise above all that evil and triumph
