I am the hollow one, and I am my mother's son.
Now I'm breaking free of me, and all that I used to be.
I'm killing off my past, to forge a future;
and I'm patching up my soul.. look see the suture.
-C-
Welcome to my resurrection, welcome to the end.
Welcome to this new beginning that's right around the bend.
I am the Phoenix, this... the flame.
I'm burning up my mask and holding up my name~!
Everything before this is nothing but a dream;
a nightmare full of pain and sadness that makes me want to scream.
Lovely fakes and bad mistakes; from which I've yet to heal.
A lifetime full of agony; that I only now refuse to feel.
I'm digging through the ashes, and searching for myself;
that itty bitty piece of me that still cries out for help.
-C-
Welcome to my resurrection, welcome to the end.
Welcome to this new beginning that's right around the bend.
I am the phoenix, this... the flame.
I'm burning up my mask and holding up my name~!
I'm stuck in this life, twixt heaven and hell.
And I'm starting to find I must fend for myself.
And I MUST face the day, and I've GOT to be strong;
cause there's no turning back if I get it all wrong.
-C-
Welcome to our resurrection, welcome to the end.
Welcome to this new beginning that's right around the bend.
We are the Phoenix, this... the flame.
Let's all burn up our masks and start holding up our names~!
Listen past the apathy; sirens are blaring.
Warning us all that we need to start caring.
Come now; lift up your swords, put your life on the line.
Quit sitting around waiting on the divine.
The power of God, can help you, it's true;
but look first inside, cause there's power in you.
Shatter your mask of lies...
We're saying our last goodbyes.
Goodbye to our fears.
Goodbye to our pain.
Say farewell to the tears that we shed in the rain.
Take a good look now, inside the mirror;
until the you you crave to be becomes clearer.
You've got the image, and you've got the power;
Don't sit and let life pass you by by the hour.
We are the Phoenix... This the flame.
Burn up those masks and hold up your names~!

Afterword:
It was... difficult, to say the least, to find one of my poems without swearing over the top that I was pleased with.
However; I think I picked a decent one.
Please leave all comments, questions, & concerns here. Fanmail and hate-mail both go straight to PMs, everything else that has more than "OMG this rocks." Or "You suck!" can go here.
I had taken notice of a sort of passive lifestyle I was following, letting others make decisions for me and then feeling sorry for myself when things go bad at the time I wrote this.
This poem/song popped into my head as a sort of message to myself and others to grab the reins on your life and start taking initiative. Don't be an observer to your own existence; take control.
