black hole named Aylmer

Shunned and counted last,
I stand alone again.
Rigid with their curses cast,
I cannot bear the pain.

But, I will not give in,
my inner strength will never fade.
I won't allow them to win,
of their malevolence i'll never be afraid.

I know they can't stop me,
nor will they drag me down.
Despite the depth of this murky sea,
I refuse to sink and drown.

I will ultimately rise,
a flaming phoenix in the night.
Gaze deeply into my shining eyes,
see the fire burning bright.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

"I will ultimately rise,
a flaming phoenix in the night."
Yes, and from a position of great inner strength and resolve. Well done.
