Rise Like the Phoenix You Are

Let the fire burn you.

Let it consume you.

Let all of your anger and all of your pain heat you up from the inside out.

Let it ignite a primordial blaze and turn everything you thought you were to ash.

Let it force you to rage on and on and on

and then

let it soften you

and transform you.

You will rise like the Phoenix you are.
