Phoenix
August 27, 2013
I look back on the past,
To the days of yesterday
Each memory slowly fading away
The darker ones fading more slowly
than the light
I try to cling to some
Trying to learn and relish,
In my mistakes and happiness
I see the days of before-
Wondering how things change so quickly
I look at myself; then and now
What has changed
What's stayed the same,
Who am I? And who do I thank for that?
I burn down the old
Memories going away to make room,
For the new
I am a Phoenix,
And I will be reborn in the
Ashes of my past

Nice concept! I like how it slowly changes into accepting the fact that you can't change the past and you need to let go.
