You kill yourself
in many ways
but may be lucky
to get reborn
rise up again
like the phoenix
leaving behind ashes
wonderment
a single tear

First note: you spelled 'phoenix' wrong.
Second note: I like the reference to it, even though the phoenix in definition depending on where you go, it is considered a very stupid immortal being...building its pyre to destroy itself. Yes, I like that alot. -
very nice reference to the phoenix.... to rise through ashes. well done. thank you for your entry.
