... LIKE A PHOENIX ...

... LIKE A PHOENIX ...

It's been so long you've been carrying Yourself,

You were just abandoned like book on the Shelf.

The times you looked left, right and back Again,

Living with memories that can drive one Insane.

The moments you wished it should all just End,

When you became like a whiff, a gone away Trend.

Periods you wondered what else will you simply Do?

Battered with issues, beating one in black and Blue.

The countless you chose to trust someone and People,

Some with their cutting edge smile, others with Dimple.

Carried away by their actions, promises and fake Vow,

But subtlely, they walked away without taking the Bow.

The burdens are pretty endless, they keep Mounting,

To the point that most time, we've lost the Counting.

For most, if not all, we simply want it to stop and Pass,

We want a new song, all the way to grace from Grass.

Yet, we seem to easily forget something quite Beautiful,

Stuff we won't believe we own, that has made you more Colorful.

Qualities that emerged from a point of asking "Who am I"

Pushed you to that point of "I am the Truth" and you Lie..

Tough times that when you thought, you can't make It,

But you crawled, then walked through the journey, bit by Bit.

You silenced that dark shadow that tried to pull you Back,

Then found the strength that you thought you truly Lack.

You pushed through the rough tunnel to find that Light,

With every fibre, nerve, muscle and blood of your Might.

People, Friends and Life itself thought they took away your amazing Prefix,

But just when they thought it is over, YOU burnt through the ash and rose like a Phoenix.

... Wherever you are, whatever you're going through, whoever you are, no matter your Prefix, please remember you're truly loved and no one will and can ever determine your Suffix ...
