Fire Bird

July 7, 2022

On the ground I lie my wings, broken and bloody My flame is going out as I let the darkness take me

No one needs my help What’s the point of trying? Anyone I find out there could so easily be lying

Can’t I just give up? It’s safer to stay here to close my eyes and give in to despair

Before I give up Before I close my eyes I see glimmers of hope a handful of small lights

They come to my side They help me to stand and as I rise from the ashes I remember who I am

I am the fire bird blazing through the night sky and no matter how broken my wings become I will always find the strength to fly

I will always use my flame to shine a light on the best of us a spark of hope in the darkness to help guide the rest of us

No matter what happens No matter who tries to break me I will keep my flame burning bright and I won’t let anyone take that from me
