Phoenix

My soul is a phoenix

I stay in one place

For a little while

I learn, I seek knowledge

I look for love and peace

And happiness in others

I seek to learn the great answers

to life's greatest questions.

One day, I have a great epiphany

I come to accept life as it is

To remember not to worry

To take care of myself,

And to let myself heal.

My inner light glows

a beautiful crimson

as it rises up within me

beautiful orange embers

breaking away from my

feathered heart.

Every 5-6 years,

I go through another cycle

Of healing my spirit

My beautiful, fiery,

passionate spirit

My forgiving soul

A soul unafraid

I accept life and then

I rise up from the ashes

From the grip of adversity

I choose to put myself back together

To try again, because

I don't give up on myself.

I wake up, my soul, my spirit

My mind begins to start a new

chapter, slightly better than the

one before. I know it will get

better. I know it will get easier.

The first step, is believing in

MYSELF.

Because like the phoenix,

I am a creative, fiery,

passionate INDEPENDENT

soul. Full of great ideas

and great knowledge.

Always yearning to show

The world such beautiful

transformations.

My soul is a phoenix,

rises from the ashes.
