Phoenix in the Ashes

Bruised and battered, I still remain.  
Each scar a tale of silent pain.  
Two years of hell, I walked alone,  
A fractured heart, a broken bone.  

They never saw, they never knew,  
The storms I fought, the nights I blew.  
Yet from the rubble, I now arise,  
A flame unyielding, burning skies.

With wings of hope, I soar anew,  
Embracing dawn, embraced by blue.
Past shadows fade, the light calls me near,  
In every breath, a whisper clear.

Resilient spirit, fierce and bold,  
I gather strength from stories told.
With every heartbeat, I claim my fight,  
A symphony of dreams igniting the night.

In the tapestry of stars, I weave my truth,  
A testament to courage, forever uncouth.
From ashes rise, no fear to glean,  
In the dance of life, I reign supreme.
