Long has the cosmic phoenix held sway over me

The bringer of hope and destroyer of worlds.

A being of pure energy; capable of great cruelty and beauty.

Agender, transgender nonbinary, all used to describe me

And I find myself a spectrum bound in human form.

Long has the cosmic phoenix held sway over me

For some people consider aro-aces to be fantasy;

Hungering only for trusted company and cosmic wonders.

A being of pure energy; capable of great cruelty and beauty.

This mortal coil, a weapon used against me.

Always the mirror distorting my reflection.

Long has the cosmic phoenix held sway over me.

It’s not that I don’t have an identity.

It’s that you cannot understand me,

A being of pure energy; capable of great cruelty and beauty.

Don’t try to cage me

With your preconceived notions of who I should be.

Long has the cosmic phoenix held sway over me.

A being of pure energy; capable of great cruelty and beauty.
