The Re-Birth

Still I Rise
Still I soar
Out of the dirt and filth
Like the Phoenix,  I shed
I shed the old skin
I shed the memories
I shed the pain and shame
I let them burst into flames
And I let the new wings take me
I am not fazed by the little feathers
I challenge the wind
I keep pushing through
Till my wings cut through
And I rise... Oh how I have risen

It is like a drug
I can't get enough
It's so intoxicating
The Power,  the Freedom
Maybe because I'm so high up
Maybe because the oxygen  is less
I do not learn from Icarus
No!  I cannot be stopped
I keep rising.  I keep soaring
Until I kiss the Sun...

Phoenix Rise
