I had fears I would not face
Things that made my heart to race
I ran, as hard as I could
It was something I never understood.
It took me a while to come to terms
A lesson that shook my world once learned
As pain though my body twisted and burned.
Finally I fought the beast
Faced the things that made me weak.
It burned me from the inside out
As I gave forth a tremendous shout.
Yet from the fire I was reborn
A Phoenix that flew from ashes of pain
Uncovering the gilded form that beneath it lay.
