The Ending
Burning, deprived lungs Grasp life-giving oxygen Too little, too late By Robbie Cheadle Too little, too late is defined by Collins as a situation where the speaker is blaming someone for not doing enough to prevent a problem, and for taking action only after the problem had become very bad.

Powerful.
With just a few words, you've created a story. Well done!
I love that the phoenix is able to rise from cold ashes and not fire. Definitely resilience. Well done, Robbie!
Strong and free!
Yes! Rising up and out!
