Born of Flame, Bound to Fly by Aeris Quinn

"Born of Flame, Bound to Fly" is a raw, metaphor-rich piece about resilience and transformation. It tells the story of rising from hardship, breaking free from imposed limits, and choosing your own path despite the world's attempts to shape you.

I was raised from the ashes,
From a blue flame that burns and clashes.
I come from a world with no rain,
Where the sun never sleeps, only reigns.

My sister’s a serpent with venom to spare,
My brother, a lion with a ravenous stare.
I am the soul that refuses to break,
Chained at the back, but make no mistake.

I can't walk more than a mile,
But I’ll soar past stars with a smile.
I’m what this cold world tried to create,
But not the result they could fabricate.

I shattered the vase that once held my shape,
Escaped from a mold I refused to take.
I’m fire, I’m flight, I’m forged from pain—
Unwritten by rules, unbound by chain.
