A Phoenix Laments!

He's at the crossroads,not knowing where to turn,
whom to listen to,whose desires to burn.
Hes hoping for intervention,praying for a miracle,
if it doesnt come soon,he will have to take a sabbatical.

When people narrate his story,they do so with respect
he was the next big thing,as far as they could recollect.
What he could've been and what hes been made into,
some happenings..they wished they could undo.

Life's not fair,but life moves on..
now he's reduced to being just a pawn.
But he ain't no pushover,he's going to resist
he's got a strong will,hes going to persist.

Even after all this,the belief is strong,
he will live his dream and prove everyone wrong.
It's all or nothing,theres a lot at stake,
they say " let it go,youve got a future to make".

Its been long,ten summers in all,
little by little, he built up the wall.
But now its shaky,and there is a crack,
and it may be his last chance to make a comeback.

Comeback if he does,he'l earn himself time,
but his fate and destiny are never known to rhyme.
He'l keep bouncing back,he'l swim upstream,
he'l take on the odds to realise his dream.

Now hes resilient,and his teeth are grit,
but inside him...hes got a mutiny,
"no use fighting it,no use living it",
coz in the end,its all about...DESTINY!!!
