Phoenix.

For the times when I search out reasons why, instead of solutions to change the what. In times of fear, diapair, loss

of hope. Search out yourself. You are far stronger than you know, and hold more capability than any outside source can provide. Seek out refuge in yourself, even when you're broken.

The glass hit the floor

Although it did not matter

The window lay there broken

But it was our hearts that shattered

And the hole that now held place 

Gaping, bold and harsh

Did no justice in the least

For the holes is each of us

Loudness filled the empty

The water quickly rose

So we turned away and jumped ship 

In search of different coasts

I remember when light approached

My memory recalls it blurred

But I could make out the silhouette 

Of a larger bird

A Phoenix I concluded

A sure sign of rebirth 

But being in its precense

Felt like going backwards 

It felt hot to the touch

It stung just like my eyes

The pain was not alleviated  

It's tears mimicked my cries 

The sting proceeded to spread 

And furious I became

How did I get here?

At the mercy of feathered flame?

The light shut off suddenly

And I willed the bird away

It's abcense didn't bring relief

To the burn now engraved

So I looked out in the distance

Contemplating with revere

I hadn't the words to describe

What had transpired here

So I sought out comfort

A safety guarentee

I layed amongst the dark

And went chasing after sleep

The Phoenix couldn't fix it

A job too large it was 

For any living entity

To fix the damage done

But it lead us to a place 

That we never needed more

It provided us with closed eyes

More importantly closed doors

And slumber did bring comfort

Sudden clarity

I may not know how to fix it

But in mending I did see

I no longer worried about the mess

From the pieces broke apart

I knew we'd all heal in time 

From our shattered hearts

No pheonix will fix it all

The coast, nor light will do

When it comes to picking yourself up

Search for strength in you 

And it may not always feel easy 

Bur here is what the key is-

You must hold on to what whole feels like

When your heart lies there in pieces.
