They say I shouldn't cry

or make a sound

I don't matter

not one bit

leave me in the spring air

watch me die

as I burn

ash to skin

smiles to your lips

but I'm dying you see

you think you've won

but your smile is to be washed away

once you realize

the fire consuming is merely red water

a color that I eat, taste of nothing

can't you see

it isn't consuming me

I'm simply changing

you can't burn me

i'm transforming

my eyes of diamond red

your blue eyes are crying, wide in confusion.

ha, you thought

I'd loose.

but you lost the only thing you loved.

I'll have to forgive you, but for now, I'll laugh, take in the moment of your quiet suprise. too bad, little boy!

leave me be.

you can't so..

your smile vanishes as the fire dissaperes and my smiles forms instead.

watch my hair grow, into the wings, scales on my bones, tears forming into flowers, plants growing beneath my dry feet that are healed.

I'm a flower.

A bird.

A creature of the wind

of the earth.

So, this fire could've never hurt me

you little lost bastard. I'm taller than you now.

you can let go now.

you've lost.

You thought of me to loose within these ashes but they're a part of me now.

I'm a phoenix.

This was just the transition stage.

You got fooled by a trick of the book.

Now watch me rise.

I'm standing.

higher than you could have ever gone, ever thought I could go.

Please stop trying to stop it.

it's not going to work.

it's just gonna get me stronger.

Red diamond eyes that see both water, fire, light and dark,

your envy and fear, but most of all, the love.

Within all of you.

Within you.

I believe. 

I've done enough with you. Now, The rest is up to you.

But, this is my life, So I decide for me.

I can't leave it all up to you, and you need to stop thinking it is.

I let go

It's your turn

But this is my life, so I won't wait.

You choose your path. I see your truth,

lets see what way you'll go.

Now, I'm letting go.

This was just my transition stage.

Ha.

You thought.
