Phoenix

Born and beaten,
Fettered and flogged,
Lifeless,
My poor soul, cried.

Exposed and harassed,
Deserted and abandoned,
And cast away,
My pursuit for distant goal, sank.

Flunked in my crucible,
Guilefully guillotined,
And buried,
My mind, under the muddy times.

Fermented and frozen,
Robbed off and forgotten,
But reincarnate,
Phoenix of my life shall.
