The Phoenix

I no longer fear the dark for I have found a way to shine on my own
I no longer reach for a hand because I have wings

It was a fire that burned me
Ashes I became

Surrounded by darkness
Yet a spark of life remained and ignited into a flame

Just as abruptly as I fell
I’m determined to rise again
