I stood aflame
In a fiery ruby-red
Burned in an inferno
Of my own making
Hell flame, hell creature
Demon spawn I’ve been called
By the many
Who have never understood
Ash-covered tongue
Choked my screams of rage
As I parodied a phoenix
Renewed by the heat
Kneeling now, I am overcome
By the chance to be
More than my labels
More than what I was
