Pheonix

I've always been afraid of fire. But at the same time it can cleanse while it singes.

burn me alive...take my pain away
sear the flesh of this accursed virus that takes hold
Grip into my bones and make my soul turn cold. 
Stay me away into the darkness that consumes light and
blackens hope as horrible than a black midnight. 
I don't want to open my eyes, nor do I want to keep them shut
I keep trying to open them up and watch as time passes me by
So I can realize and regret what I haven't done yet..
things that will never come to be because of my doubt. 
I will try my hardest...
To get out of the box..
Break these old chains, sever these old ties.
Push this weight off of my chest.  blink really hard and grit my teeth...
my muscles are weak, i can't get a grip
the dirt and rain holds me down  I can't escape. 
the doubt is settling into my heart again
I'm trying not to feel anything. 
The pain resembles something that will keep me faithful.
I'm not burning...I'm not dead.
I AM alive. no regrets...
What I am is within these eyes in this heart
and in this mind.

I love it. The Pheonix bursts into flames and is reborn from it's own ashes..., re-creating itself completely. :D Beautiful!
