Phoenix raising

In the depths of darkness, shadows loom,
A journey down to the abyss's gloom.
Hitting rock bottom, the ground gives way,
In the void of despair, we find our stay.

Through trials and tribulations, we roam,
Facing demons that claim we're alone.
In the echoes of our shattered dreams,
Rock bottom's embrace, colder it seems.

Yet amidst the darkness, a spark persists,
A glimmer of hope, no soul resists.
For in the darkest hour, hearts may mend,
Finding strength from the pain to transcend.

Like a phoenix rising from ashes' dearth,
Hitting rock bottom can signal rebirth.
In the depths, a seed of resilience sown,
A chance to rise, a new path to own.

The struggle for light, the climb so steep,
Embracing the pain, the secrets we keep.
From the depths, we emerge to the light,
Rock bottom's release, a moment to fight.

With courage, we muster, and hope prevails,
Through valleys low and towering trails.
Each step upward, the darkness fades,
As we rebuild the life that cascades.

So let us remember, when shadows mar,
Rock bottom can guide us to who we are.
For in the abyss, we find the way,
To rise and thrive, a brighter day.
