My whole life
I have been running
Running from my past
And from my future
I ran from the truth
I hid from who I am
Scared to look
Terrified of the mirror
But you stood in my way
Blocked my path
Strong rooted and determined
You sparked a flame
Igniting the fire
I sit here and watch
Eyes wide and in awe
As the world I know
Crumbles to ash around me
Giving birth to a new life
One born of ash
And gifted
With the magic of your love
