rising majestically from the ashes
is only useful if you have been
unwittingly destroyed
by circumstances
beyond your control
if you willingly walk into the fire,
time and time again,
because you crave
the feeling of being reborn,
then it makes it impossible
for anyone in your life
to know who they’re dealing with
harness the power of the phoenix
without becoming a full-time martyr
to constant change
