LIKE PHOENIX!
People may
Surmount you,
Enkindle you,
Affront you,
Damage you,
And relinquish you.
But they
Cannot,
Will not,
And shall not
Pulverize you.
For you
Like Rome,
Was built on ashes.
And you
Like a Phoenix,
Know how to resuscitate.
Remember,
What other people think of you,
Is none of your business.
