Challenge
Like a Phoenix
Write a poem or story (fiction or nonfiction) about getting back up again after the very worse. After the pain, heartache, and depression. Write about what makes someone a phoenix that raises above it all.
Like a Phoenix
Little by little,
They rise in flames,
Like cigar bursting to smoke
and steam springing to vapours.
The shards sting my veins
I use fire to melt its crystal
Engraving its sizzle
and burying its pain once and for all
Believing the fire would billow
In haste to rise above all
Leaving me forever in glow.
Little by little
they rise in flames
Burning in ashes, my barren land.
