Phoenix

For most of my life, I thought my deep feelings would make me drown.

Normally, laying on my shoulder for all to see.

Made me feel different.

Made me ashamed.

It felt like I couldn’t hide and sometimes I wanted to.

Little did I know that my sensitivity was my super power.

From the depths of my soul, I have passion.

Passion to see others smile, feel the lyrics of a song, feel deeply for others’ joys or sorrows, love pretty skies, standing for what I believe in.

If you’re an empath, you are a phoenix.

The crash from being overwhelmed, easily turns into determination to rise from the fire.

Wear the burns and scars proudly.

It shows my strength.

It shows others to not give up.

The broken pieces show the journey of my life.

I’m just getting started.
