Poem - Phoenix

Phoenix  

They said I had it all.

I woke up on a bed of roses, without a worry in the world,

as destiny smiled on me daily.

Unaccountable wads of cash stuffed in my handbag,

I roamed around the world.

But there I was,

lying on driftwood,

floating far away from home,

losing sight of my goals.

They said I had it all.

The heir, the progeny, and the lucky one—

no one to ask, no one to tell.

for some, I was a good catch;

for the rest, I was an easy prey.

And there I was, looking at the noose, taking it all in.

Lonely, fearful, and abandoned while they devoured the cupcakes.

They said I had it all.

The spark found me,

and now I am reunited with my soul—

silencing the aching heart, shutting down the voices in my head.

I will fly through the roof, reach for the stars,

And have It all!

I say I will have it all.

Why not... !!
