PERSONAL PHOENiX

GLOWiNG
YOU COULD SAY
FLEXiBLE LiKE THE GRASS
i SWAY

NEVERTHELESS
ONCE LAiD FLAT
TRAMPLED DOWN
TRULY ON MY OWN
BiTTERLY BEGRUDGiNG FATE
LOST ALLONE iN NOTHiNGNESS

NOW, AS i HAVE RiSEN
AFTER MY PERSONAL PHOENiX
DRAGGED ME SCREAMiNG
OUT OF ALL THE ASHES
iT WAS JUST A WiNK
OF MY EYELASHES
THAT i LEFT MY CAGE
MY PRiSON

GLOWiNG
YOU COULD SAY
TO BERAYAL NOW i ANSWER LOUD
AND PROUD

SHiNiNG
YOU COULD SAY
DECEPTiON HELPED ME
FiND MY WAY

GLEAMiNG
YOU COULD SAY
A RAY OF SUNSHiNE
AS i FINALLY KNOW
WHAT TO DO
AND HOW

i LEARNED A LOT
THROUGH iLLNESS' DARKEST PATH
BUT AT LAST
WHAT'S LEFT TO SAY?

i'M FLEXiBLE
LiKE THE GRASS
i SWAY

      Thank you so much! And indeed it was heartfelt.

    This was music to my soul. The lines and verses attuned to a melody of victory, of calmness, of life no longer provoked but inspired. Absolutely enjoyed this, Svenja.

      Thank you, Violet! It was a pleasure to wright this piece and it came right on time.

    Svenja, I feel the strength in your lines about rising from the ashes and finding your way again.

    I’m glad you ended with “flexible like the grass,” because it feels like quiet strength that lasts :-)
