i am the Phoenix
rising slowly
stretching new wings
uncurling from the ashes
shaking singed happiness
from my dusty hair
formed of blackened memories
and charred dignity
stepping out of the death
i was born in
i amd the Phoenix
rising faster
trembling with power
fierce naked bold
the fire that created me
burns behind my eyes
and in my iron hands
snapping iridescent pinions
i scream revenge
and bare gleaming teeth
i am the Phoenix
rising swiftly
with death in my hand
destruction in my face
winging a dark path
across the racing sky
dropping embers and
pieces of rage
over the barren fields
eager in my hatred
i am the Phoenix
