I never needed you to save me,
‘Defy’ is what I was built on;
Personify fierce and courage
goodbye to every line drawn;
Shake up the entire foundation
take what you work hard for;
Rattlesnake venom on my lips,
firebreak I’m ready to wage war.

"we fall that we may rise
amazed at our fortitude
our resolve does surprise
of never say die attitude"
Inspiration lines written by _Unseeking Seeker
__________
Rising from the ashes of my existence,
realizing that I must be the one to change;
surprising me that I can leave woe in the distance,
tranquilizing my life with a simple rearrange !
Years of grief I leave on a funeral pyre,
tears I wept in imagined wild places;
fears, pain, sorrow and grief I now set on fire,
repairs to my heart and soul will erase all traces !
Soaring with eagles I am new and reborn.
exploring- I feel my beauty and youth again;
restoring my energy so I have no time to mourn,
pouring out words with the courage of my pen !
Like the mythical bird Phoenix I die and rise,
childlike I see my world with new eyes of light;
divinelike is my attitude- now courageous and wise,
dreamlike transitions have again made my life bright !
