Rising

Rising
By Aarohi Talati
Bursting in flames,
you rose from the ashes.
You came up
to breathe again,
to continue to live.
Death made you
start from scratch,
exactly like a Phoenix.
They die in a ball of fire,
only to come back in three days
from the ashes of its predecessor.
And you,
you compare to this creature.
This creature that is the epitome
of all things indestructible.
You came back – it took only three years.
You’re stronger than ever,
and you will always rise from the ashes.
You will always rise.
