Phoenix

A disappointment of this sort

Is a certain low death 

Everyday I lose a bit of my breath 

 

It takes time, to truly believe life

Believe, that pain can change 

And acceptance has no range

 

And perhaps time can be

Rushed into the company

Of what creates epiphanies 

 

Some, hold the power to bend

This time, here and now

Recreating me, I don\'t know how

 

And while I go through this fire

The memory of death doesn\'t hurt

Sustaining this wild, colorful rebirth.
