The Phoenix

Hope always

By Leslie AmandaPublished 5 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

she is not the same as she was

Never will be again

She is not as sweet and never

Never will be again

She is stronger than she thought she could be

She needed to be

She is harder than she ever thought she would be

She needed to be

She became gaurded

She had to be

She grew as a protector

She had to be

She isn’t going back

Never will again

She won’t ever be like who she was

Never will be again

She is brave

She is strong

She is free

She is new

She was broken

He needed her to be

She rebuilt herself

She needed her to be

Out of the ashes

Rising brilliantly in flames

Greater than her dreams

She is stronger than she knows

inspirational
