"The way I see it, every life is pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant." -The Doctor


You can see the way her wings are damaged;
Broken, bloodied, sore.
You can see how she longs to be up in the sky;
Hoping, praying, wanting more.

You can see the way her wrists are damaged;
Broken, bloodied, sore.
You can see how she longs to be happy for once;
Hoping, praying, wanting more.

Her colors were unbelievably bright;
Shining, daring, delicate.
Flying solo through the clouds whispers;
Alone, fragile, tempting fate.

Her smile was unbelievably bright;
Shining, daring, delicate.
Flying solo through the school halls;
Alone, fragile, tempting fate.

Our Phoenix must be reborn and she has outgrown this old shell.

She nests on her branch, ready to die;
Waiting, patient, prepared.
She excepts that she can't continue;
Rescue, peace, scared.

She nests on her bed, ready to die;
Waiting, patient, prepared.
She excepts that she can't continue;
Rescue, peace, scared.

She nods to herself to begin;
Rebirth, death, life.
She can feel her ashes begin to spread;
Gone, lost, strife.

She nods to herself to begin;
Rebirth, death, life.
She can feel her pain begin to shed;
Gone, lost, strife.

It took death to keep our Phoenix alive.


Her beauty is too hard to capture;
Elegant, perfect, imperfect.
She tests her unscathed wings;
Pure, clean, worth it.

Her beauty is too hard to capture;
Elegant, perfect, imperfect.
She tests her unscarred wrists;
Pure, clean, worth it.

The fire that burned through her;
Hot, numbing, painful.
It destroyed her yet also saved her;
Save, safe, savior.

The sadness that burned through her;
Cold, numbing, painful.
It destroyed her yet also saved her;
Save, safe, savior.

She was reborn so strong and beautiful.
