PHOENIX RISING FROM THE FLAMES..

PHOENIX RISING FROM THE FLAMES..

I won't accept where I am
I've so much more to give
Getting harder everyday
Just finding the will to live
Physically, I give my all
In every waking hour
Mentally, I feel suffocated
Unable to use full power
Underneath the sadness
Desire is burning through
Crossing an endless wilderness
Striving for pastures new
I see a glimpse of light
Flickering in and out
Pushing so hard to reach it
I want to scream and shout!
Devoid of all confidence
Weary of feeling ashamed
I'm down now but I'll rise again
Like a phoenix from the flames....

I loved this write Jason, you do this type of genre so well.  Filled with real emotion, and the flow and rhythm was spot on.  Great final stanza and the last line clinched it.  A complete piece, really enjoyed.  A flaming 5*s (sorry couldn't help myself lol!) and nom from me :)x
