Phoenix

Once upon a time, I burned myself to ash. Once upon a time, I gave up on the things that made me. Once upon a time, I flickered in my past. Once upon a time, I rebuilt myself to what you now see. We rip and shred ourselves apart. Alone in the sea that boils us alive. But we can learn to swim. We can learn to mend our burns and hide our scars. From the ashes we can begin again. Becoming better than what once was. A cycle of flame and song and life. More than what we see we are. Phoenixes of our own tales. Legends in our own stories.
