Phoenix

Like a Phoenix, I rise
From ashes of a world crumbling before my eyes
Above grey clouds consuming my blue skies, I fly 
In freedom
Breaking all shackles threatening my existence
In renewed strength
Empowered by fresh breaths of new life
My soul screams, awakened 
From nightmares I once knew
Like a Phoenix, I rise
Setting ablaze negatives leaving my soul empty
Burning away vibes leaving my heart trembling
Vaporizing all things battering my mind relentlessly
Like a Phoenix, I rise
A new day
A new world
A new page of a chapter
Unwritten before me
Fierce eyes and determined
Like a Phoenix, I rise
