Resurrection from embers
Of burned bridges
Perceived betrayals
And lost contact
Cliché like the phoenix
Impressed with own powers of
Survival and instinct
Preservation meeting perseverance
Will intersecting selfish, stubborn desire
Bending realities like breaking rules
Expanding repertoire of skill
Cementing position as king
Among world-class snobs and makers
Carrying forward with usual superiority airs
I still control my world
