Phoenix Poem by Sagar Garg

I'm trying to find someone to base my life upon,
Something in this strange world that goes on and on.
As the years go by and time fades away,
What used to be "good days" are now filled with dismay.
Tomorrow comes, and then again, it goes,
And my ambition to become something more, grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
The life I want now, gets closer each day.
All I have ever wanted was something to live for,
I don't want to be this little person anymore.
I have been basing my life upon what others think,
I wish I could go back and redo everything,
Every time an eye would blink.
I have fought to become who I am and what I want to be,
I have to remind myself that one day, I WILL BE FREE.
