Phoenix Hope

Aaack, I've looked at the piece for too long, the words begin to feel contrived as if I've lost the inspiration. But i think that just means I need to send it out into the aether. Let is breathe a bit. I don't know if this is a song or a poem, but it's, it's, well, it's the inner fight I haven't expressed. So much has happened lately to bring back out all I was suppressing. This is a very structured piece though not perfect in rhyme or meter, a bit more organic with just a touch of chaos. Enjoy. :)

Phoenix
Sucker punch I never saw,
No time to slip the hit.
At loss for air, you knock me down.
No thoughts, just pain, that’s it.

Layed out in dirt, muddied tears,
Bloodied heart in hands.
My eyes to you, dark with rage,
As I struggled to feet, to stand.

I will fall and I will rise up to fall once more.
Phoenix hope in ashen coat, ready for next tour.
Walls I built to protect, I’ll crumble with a phrase,
For there is strength in letting go, to risk can be to save.

Blackened orbs smoldering,
Windows to shattered soul,
But head held high, stubborn pride,
Taking back all that you stole.

Though I am left here bleeding
With all the blows you gave,
It's you who are the broken
For all you seem unscathed.

I will fall and I will rise up to fall once more.
Phoenix hope in ashen coat, ready for next tour.
Walls I built to protect, I’ll crumble with a phrase,
For there is strength in letting go, to risk can be to save.

Scarred by passion unreturned,
I'll take another chance,
Step back into the fiery ring.
Sound the bell, I'll dare to dance.

For I can love with open heart,
Whisper truth in lover's ear.
And you'll stay wrapped in web of lies
Trapped by all your fears.

I will fall and I will rise up to fall once more.
Phoenix hope in ashen coat, ready for next tour.
Walls I built to protect, I’ll crumble with a phrase,
For there is strength in letting go, to risk can be to save.

Claim victory and throw parades.
Kiss girls in every street.
False heart on sleeve, but no reprieve
From reflection, your self-deceit.

I will fall and I will rise up to fall once more.
Phoenix hope in ashen coat, ready for next tour.
Walls I built to protect, I’ll crumble with a phrase,
For there is strength in letting go, to risk can be to save.

I will fall just to rise up into the sun.
Purified by storm survived, I'm the one's whose won.
