I hope you all enjoy this!  Falling is easy But rising is not Death is easy But re-birth is not It takes something special To rise again... The phoenix from the ashes She continues to rise again Every time that she's pushed down Despite of all that happens She always comes around... The phoenix from the ashes It may take some time To rise from the fall But it's easier every time To rise above all And fly above the world you know And see it for what it is To see things that only a bird-eye view Can reveal... The phoenix from the ashes And with each re-birth She becomes better, wiser And more aware of what she is I am the phoenix from the ashes... And so are you "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

I love the poem. Very well written!! - Danielle "Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do." "The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say." - Anais Nin "Follow your own heart, not others." |

Great poem Lovebug! Putting Phoenix in the title is a good way to get me to read, LOL, got to love that bird. Loved the poem too and the message it contains.. we are all the phoenix.. "In flames I shall not be consumed, but reborn" - Myself.. Great poem Abrahm Simons "You... You are so special You have the talent To make me feel like Dirt" - Alice in Chains, "Dirt" |

LoveBug, this is nicely written and i like the message that expresses the importance of rising again, no matter how many times you fall. With that elusive, complex, and emotion-filled thing called love, there will always be heartbreak and disappointment, but the important thing is to rise above the hurt and disappointment and become stronger and wiser. Hope many of the teens read your poem. dh |

Lovebug That was an amazing piece of poetry, it gives us all strength, but also warns us that the path ahead may not be easy! Keep on with the writing the dark angel -x- |
