I Am poem am the phoenix. wonder why fire eats dreams instead of lighting them. hear earth’s heartbeat faint beneath bombs. see shadows where cities once stood proudly. want forever peace to come. pretend feel touch sky stitching it back together with my wings. worry is too small outshine hate. cry understand a seed not storm. say “Let ashes be soil for hope.” dream world war just stories. try carry sun in chest weary. hope rise reminds fallen they can too.
