the phoenix

'This is it.' I thought to myself, I'm dying. It almost felt freeing, to know all my pain and suffering, all the sadness, will be gone.

but something was holding me back pulling me towards the light.

'Let me die.'

"No, don't give up, you are strong, stronger than you can ever imagine. Don't let them win, you take away the fear, you take away their power and you get your power back."

And so from the ashes of the pain, the phoenix was born.
