It was a terrible time, filled with only cries

And sadness all around

Yet from the ashes, phoenixes arise

A comeback so profound

What is life

Without it's ups and its downs?

You may face strife

But it may lead to your crown

Light amongst dark

Good amongst bad

The difference may be stark

But there is more to be had

Because with the night comes darkness, but also stars

It's important to remember when lamenting our scars

So take that chance, even if your scared

The best of things come to those who have dared

And when you wish upon a star

Don't let it distract from who you truly are
