Phoenix

The phoenix rises from the ashes after it
was scorched by lower flames
It soared higher despite the smoke but all's
fair inside the game
Everyone is played within the game but we 
must be a good sport
I ask why receiving no reply but who needs
the fake retorts?
We climb levels to new devils ready to face
what's bound to come
They try to bind us, so we struggle but those with
weak wills have never won

This is a great poem Jasen and quite powerful. You set the scene well with the rising of the phoenix. The last line, in particular, is thought provoking. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. :)
