I’m like the sunrise you see

Look away 

And I’m

Gone 

–

Here I am

Showing you, just you 

Who I truly am behind the scenes 

Exposing myself – naked and raw 

–

Just like the Phoenix

Everyday 

I rise from the ashes 

Unapologetic 

–

Nothing can stop me

From shining my light 

Not even the darkness

Good always wins the battle with evil

–

I’m calling you to me

Giving you every opportunity to see me

But you have to set your alarm

You have to drag yourself out of bed

–

Even better 

You jump 

Jump out of bed

And run to me as I reveal my true nature 

–

In full blossom

I’m there 

But I’m not yours

For the holding

–

Too late 

–

Everyone is around now 

Everyone can see me now 

Everyone wants me

Everyone can have me 

–

I know you are scared 

–

You cannot grasp

Something 

That you 

Cannot comprehend 

–

Too big 

Ironically, overshadowing 

Everything 

That gets in its way 

–

The fire within 

Is not a fire to be messed with 

Is not a fire to be touched 

Unless you can merge with it 

–

Unless you too, are fire 

–

Air cannot even fan my flames

And unless you are a tsunami 

You cannot extinguish the burning desire

Earth is also simply a friend 

–

I need fire

Fire to merge with 

Fire to love with 

Fire to breathe with

–

So next time

You snooze on life 

Let it be known

That the sun will rise

–

It will still rise 

And you, you will still

Be who you are 

–

Neither is better 

But sometimes, we only want to be around 

Those who chase the sun
