Phoenix
A poem
The fire began in silence
A spark against years of pain
Each betrayal stacked like timber
Each cruelty fed the flame
🔥🔥🔥
I burned. Not by my choosing...
The world mistook me for wood
Their words were smoke that choked me
Their scars carved where I stood
🔥🔥🔥
From deep inside the inferno
I found defiance to keep
Alone I faced the ashes
What should have killed ran deep
🔥🔥🔥
When wings tore through the darkness
My eyes ignited bright
A sudden blaze of knowing
I was never theirs to fight
🔥🔥🔥
And through the blaze, love held me
My children’s laughter near
My husband’s strength beside me
Their voices cut the fear
🔥🔥🔥
From ruin I rose unbroken
not fragile, not torn apart
A phoenix crowned in fire
with molten scars for art
🔥🔥🔥
I burned until the night was gone
My body forged in flame
From ash I rose unyielding
Reborn without the shame
🔥🔥🔥
The blaze that sought to end me
now questions if I'm sane
Its embers sculpted my feathers
There's no longer any pain
🔥🔥🔥
A testament forged from fire
From ruin’s edge, I spread my wings
From destruction, I found my power
A phoenix born of shattered things.
🔥🔥🔥
The fire began in silence...
But now my voice is strong
From ashes I claimed freedom
And I know where I belong
🔥🔥🔥
