Inspiration from the pit of despair
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
So this upcoming Journalist rises from the pit of despair.
Knocked down yet not defeated,
Dusting off my elements of shame.
Finding inspiration from the depths of sadness,
Choosing hope over despair.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
My dreams are altered and not burnt.
