Phoenix
What did they say to you?
What did they do?
To cause a powerful
Beautiful
Warrior queen
To think she has nothing to offer?
I’ve been there in the dim corners
Thinking I had no light
Holding a torch in my hand
The entire time
Waiting for – I’m not sure what —
Permission?
Permission from who –
From them?
Listen:
Speak
Shout!
Or whisper, at least, until you understand
You are the phoenix
You are already blazing.
You don’t need permission to light up this space
and time.
Say what they tried to stop you from saying
They only fear your fire because it comes for their lies
Do what makes your heart come alive
Anyone who has a problem with that –
Can move out of the way
Because the only thing burning out
Burning down
Are your obstacles
Phoenix, you are destined to rise
And shine!
