BURN TO EMERGE LIKE A PHOENIX

 

Carrying my broken heart

I kept on going by

My intrepidity was ripped apart

When I cried out my eye

 

My dignity stumbled the minute,

I decided to follow someone

The leader in me took that bullet

And told me that she’s done

 

I had the reminiscence

of the distant memories from before,

When in my defense

I’ll never ever give up, I swore

 

I cannot identify the woman in the mirror

And what she has become

Her thoughts are not any clearer

And her judgement is numb

 

She has forgotten that “it doesn’t do,

to dwell on dreams and forget to live”

Cause in her reverie, she isn’t feeling blue,

She can easily forget and forgive

 

Until when do I need

to feel this fragile?

Till when will my heart bleed

Before it can be agile?

 

Do I really need to chastise

myself for it all?

Do I need to compromise

and take the fall?

 

Can’t I revitalize myself

and be merry once more?

Like a phoenix burns itself

and rise again from the core.

 

Its final, I am fixing upon

the ultimate crux of life;

Be it dusk or be it dawn,

I’ll keep moving on to strive

 

So, carrying my broken heart

I kept on going by

This isn’t the end but a start

I’ll be someone that no one can defy.
