Become the Phoenix

You say you are forever down

You wear your sadness like a crown

A badge of honor, wear it proud

You speak of things you’re not allowed

You question all your worthiness

You treat yourself as if you’re less

I say to you right here this day

That you must learn a better way

This battle, it is never through

From ashes you must rise anew!

Become the phoenix you desire

Rise up within a plume of fire!

Light up the sky with fiery wings

As you fly on to greater things!

As you blaze across the skies

See through the embers of your eyes!

Rise up right now, rise up today

And soar until your final day!

This poem is for anyone who is down and sees themselves as less than they truly are. You have a voice, you have gifts, and you do matter.

What others have told you is inconsequential.

Look within.

Hear the beat of your heart.

Feel the blood of life run through your veins.

Use your eyes.

Look up.

Look up and soar.

ยฉThe Beginning At Last

    A powerful poem. Many people feeling down lately and they donโ€™t know how to change their thinking. It takes practice to change negative feelings to positive ones to have FAITH in a tough situation. You are so right, we ALL have a daily choice โ€” stay low OR find the fire within. Brilliant! Have a great day!
