Carrying this burden in the cage of your ribs,
and smiling as its claws tear your breath down,
you walk through filth with your head held high,
you show them why you were deemed worthy of that crown.
Holding in those tears every moment you live,
because even when it hurt, you chose to believe,
that even the ugliest of nights could transform into the hope that was dawn,
out of every ember that fell from your heart,
a new phoenix was born.
Every twilight you sat to remove the nails in your shoe,
smiling into the sunset with trust that was true,
I witnessed the ferocity radiating when destiny pounced with might,
you kissed your wounds goodbye and walked into the ugly fight.
