Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising

I will not fall

I will not fail

I will fight

Tooth and nail

Before I surrender

I will burn myself

To cinders

And rise

Even stronger 

From my ashes

And from the darkness

The black emptiness

Where all seems cold

There is a light

That burns hotter than any ever known

In one breath

The night explodes

In a cacophony of sparks

Rising like stars

Into the midnight sky

For I am ignited

From ashes to cinders

Cinders to embers 

Embers to flame

Flame to inferno

A phoenix rising

Tempered in fire

Ever consumed and undefeated

And if I am challenged

I will take you with me
