Phoenix of the Heart

In the shadowed valleys where pain did dwell,

A soul once fractured, lost in its shell,

Battles fought in silence, wounds unseen,

A heart weighed down by what might have been.

But through the storm and the darkest night,

A spark ignites, a flicker of light,

Resilient, steadfast, against the tide,

The spirit rises, no longer to hide.

Through the scars, the tears, the bitter ache,

A strength is forged that none can break,

For in the depths of anguish and fear,

The seeds of self-love begin to appear.

Embracing the self with tender grace,

Learning to love in a healing embrace,

The mirror no longer reflects the past,

But a soul reborn, free at last.

Each wound a lesson, each tear a guide,

Leading the way to a love inside,

No longer a victim of sorrow’s claim,

But a victor, embracing a new name.

In the ashes of trauma, a phoenix soars,

A heart once closed now opens doors,

To love others and oneself anew,

A journey of healing, both tried and true.

With every step, a new dawn breaks,

In every breath, a soul awakes,

Stronger, wiser, with love at the core,

A new person, rising to explore.

For in overcoming, a truth is found,

In love, in self, we are unbound,

Transformed by fire, with wings to ascend,

To a life where brokenness finds its end.
