fire-burner

You burn me down,
not realizing it Is strength I gain,
The scortching embers,
push me past my capabilities,
the sting and heat of the flame,
Motivates me more than ever before.
You may burn me,
go right ahead,
I will rise from the ashes and soot,
And champion like the phoenix.
the phoenix I am.

I word my responses to such questions in a similar manner.
The last two lines, consider simplifying for increased impact. Maybe something as simple as "a champion, a phoenix".

that burning works both ways...and when the phoenix rises, he has no chance...

she will find capabilities she never thought she had...and as that song said "only the stronger survive"
