The story of the Phoenix

There was a time in my life where everything was so good,
when life and people were as loving as they possibly could,
and the world looked wondrous and the sky was perfectly blue,
also everything people told me was amazing and always true,
then when I was still young a very dark day appeared before me,
where all of that bliss and harmony was taken and no longer felt I free.

Darkness started to overtake me completely taking my smile away,
and there was nothing that could bring my heart to come back and make it sway,
this is when my heart died and was replaced with an eternal fire,
a fire that could destroy everything, teaching me to be and spot every liar,
though I did not know happiness anymore, revenge came to my mind,
and I was not longer interested to be ever so helpful and kind.

The fire grew stronger and more powerful over the years,
it gave me strength to keep going and took away all my tears,
it is a darkness that encompasses all that I am now and ever have been,
it is nothing like you believe you ever thought to have seen,
she comes out when I require her in my darkest time of need,
and it is truth, horrors and revenge that she craves and I feed.

I now have a dark and powerful side to me,
an engulfing fire that begs to be set free,
like a phoenix being released from the fire,
every day growing stronger and flying higher,
my outside looks beautiful and sweet,
but it really is the destruction inside you do not wish to meet.

People say they love me and maybe they do,
but these same people also break me to pieces too,
I believe some of them may love me and want me near,
but I cannot deal with any of them being hostile and insincere,
they can try to break me, kill me, or even try to lead me astray,
just know that even though one day I’ll die, I will never fully go away.

I will always rise like a phoenix from the fire that is so powerful and strong,
who will hunt down and tear and break down all those who have done me wrong,
no longer will I be hurt and torn and brought down to my knees,
no longer will I scream and mumble senseless and useless pleas,
no longer will I be told how I have absolutely no worth,
the Phoenix makes you this promise every day on the 6th hour on this earth.
