Who am I?
I am the sun, raised and set, born and died.
I am rebirth, trial by fire, a new beginning.
I rise from the ashes, ever stronger.
The first time I died, I was fourteen,
Still a child, barely born.
I was pushed down a staircase for being gay.
I stayed dead for almost a year.
The second time, I killed myself.
I sealed myself off. I felt only anger.
I stayed dead for a miserable summer,
storms broke, and the sun stayed far away.
The third time, I was used.
I was a sacrifice to bring happiness and well-being.
It worked.
I guttered out to nothingness.
She flared to life.
What will the fourth time be?
As long as there is a fire in my eyes
I will fight. I will not go quietly.
I don’t want to be a phoenix.
I want to live.
