I will rise like a phoenix

My call is helpless
My pain is potent
My cry is desperate
With meaningless thoughts
My head is filled with distaste
Not a spark of hope around
With broken wings, I sit in a corner

But, with a glimmer of motivation 
I will find the spirits
Mysterious and magical
I will soar and glide
I will rise like a phoenix
With broken wings
Bold and beautiful

I will stab the vicious evil
I Will stand tall
I will rise like a phoenix
With broken wings
Bold and beautiful
