Phoenix: Invincible
You strike my weakness
watch me drop
begin believing
I was stopped.
You crow.
You laugh.
You feel relief.
Applaud yourselves
but please
be brief
for every time
new failure burns
I learn the lessons.
Strength returns.
Departing dust
I'll light the skies
alive with hope
that never dies.
