Phoenix

Into existence I was born

In the fire, I was forged

Brick by brick I was built

Tragedy, suffering, things that would make others wilt

Each event a part of me

All part of my symphony

As things thrown together way too fast,

Cracks in the building that is me amassed

For sure one hit or a windstorm too many

It wouldn't take much to knock down, the opportunities are plenty

As they waited for my demise,

A stronger me began to rise

Turned to ashes, yes, I broke

What was left of me seemingly gone up in smoke

One can only crack so much

Until you tumble and burn with a simple touch

But don't throw my remains away just yet

Refrain from scattering the ashes of sunset

For steadily I prepare to ascend

I am the phoenix; I will revive again and again until the end
