Maimed, faulted, deformed,



Poison black, you are,



Inside out, poison black



Mend the broken soul



Piece by piece, you glue



By and by there rises, a mended soul



A broken happiness



**



At times you



Just don’t realise



Broken pieces are, by far,



More beautiful than



A careless disguise.



**



Bow to the fire in your veins



A small fire, it spreads,



Blissfully slow, it goes,



Then all at once, it starts.



Flames explode,



Fiery dusts disperse,



Showers of glory,



Life in your frozen blood.



**



Spread your arms, Peter Pan,



Through the night sky,



Your colour bursts



Tails of sparks, rains of false wishes,



Gasps of awe, yes,



You got what you want,



Food for your broken soul.



Gasps of awe, aye.



**



It burns, the fire, it burns



Intense bright



In a beautiful light.



A fiery phoenix, you morph into one



Riding an air of royalty in the sky



A fiery phoenix, you soar like one,



The token of power and beauty



A fiery phoenix, you are one,



The creature that lives in myths.



**



The change comes



Pain takes over, ripping off your wings



Your fire, it’s getting rampant, and with



Every bite, it draws blood



From your mended soul.



Watch in vain, as your nightmare



Comes alive- the fall.



No last burst of dazzling dust



It simply ends.



**



Down, down, you descend



A sword through the heart



Is what the fire’s doing to you



Claw through the pain, you have to,



So that the exit you’re making



Ends with grace.



You want grace.



**



Hard, you hit the dirt



Bruised and charred



Ugly ending



**



A slit of crack,



You curl up, tight,



Tighter,



Clinging onto the last hope of



Protecting your mended pieces



The crack splits, wide,



Wider,



Fast, ruthless,



The fragile soul breaks into halves



Crumbles down, it still happens,



Into shreds of filth, it destroys itself,



Into heaps of junk uglier than before.
