There were days,
Where I felt lifeless,
When nothing felt right,
When the stars were above me,
but I failed to see the light.

There were days,
When the monster inside, washed over me,
Piercing screams filled my ears,
And the end of the tunnel I couldn’t see.

But those days,
The lion inside came to life,
Battling for days,
The monster that held a knife.

I tried surviving,
Remembering the nebulas,
Which had led to my existence,
The galaxy of a million hues,
Shards of light and their brilliance.

I fought all I could,
But at last, I let go,
And my body crumbled,
Into ashes in the snow.

They thought it was over,
The monster rejoiced,
But he failed to notice,
A whisper of my voice.

With all, I had left,
I rose with a vengeance,
With a promise to destroy the dots and dashes,
I rose, like a phoenix from the ashes.

I snatched the knife from my lion,
And went in for the kill,
and warmth flooded my blood,
Despite the bone-crushing chill

The monster had gone forever,
Knowing and accepting defeat,
And destroying a supernatural beast,
Was no ordinary feat.

The galaxy burst into pride,
Looking at what I had become,
It knew I was ready for a battle,
And the wars yet to come

Those ashes had glorified me,
Making me stronger,
The fire in me burning brighter than ever,
Fear, I had no longer

Yes, with all I had left,
I rose with a vengeance,
With a promise to destroy the dots and dashes,
I rose, like a phoenix from the ashes.
