The Phoenix - Eros' Rising

"Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful.”

Eros (ἔρως),

a fundamental Greek term for passionate love and desire, appears in literature as both a primordial force of creation and a mischievous god of sexual attraction. As a divine figure, he is depicted as a winged, youthful archer (son of Aphrodite and Ares), often embodying the irresistible, sometimes destructive power of love.

The Concept: In ancient Greek philosophy (particularly by Plato), Eros refers to passionate, sensual love and the deep creative and fundamental impulse to seek connection and beauty.

A "Must Listen"

 

 

"Don't Give Up"  by Ash Reed

Some days feel like the world on your back,

Like one more hit and you might crack.

Like nobody sees the weight you hold,

Like you’re fighting battles never told.

 

Bills stacking, trust collapsing,

Dreams delayed, doubts attacking.

You smile through it, play it cool,

But inside you’re breaking too.

 

You feel tired but you ain’t lazy,

Just overwhelmed, mind going crazy.

You question if it’s worth the climb,

If you’re running out of time.

 

But you still wake up every day,

Even when you want to fade.

That ain’t weakness that’s fight,

That’s surviving another night.

 

You came too far…

To quit now.

 

Don’t give up

Even when it hurts like hell.

Don’t give up

Even when you’re by yourself.

 

You’re stronger than you think you are,

You survived every scar.

Don’t give up

This ain’t where you fall apart.

 

Don’t give up

The storm don’t last forever.

Don’t give up

You break? You rebuild better.

 

Hold the line, stand your ground,

Even when nobody’s around.

Don’t give up

You’re closer than you know right now.

 

I know the nights feel endless,

I know the silence gets relentless.

I know the voice inside your head

Sometimes wishes you were dead inside instead.

 

But that voice ain’t truth

It’s fear in disguise.

It’s pain talking loud,

It ain’t your size.

 

You were built from struggle,

Built from grit.

You were built to take the hit.

 

Every scar is proof you stood,

When others wouldn’t, you could.

Every loss just sharpened steel,

Made you real.

 

You didn’t survive all that…

To fold now.

 

Yeah You been knocked down, counted out,

Doubted heavy, filled with doubt.

You been hurt, betrayed, left,

Felt like you got nothing left.

 

But look at you

Still breathing.

Still standing.

Still demanding more.

 

You ain’t weak for feeling low,

You ain’t soft for moving slow.

Progress ain’t always loud,

Sometimes it’s just not backing down.

You ain’t behind You on your path.

You ain’t finished You just in the draft.

 

The same pain that tried to end you…

Is shaping who you’re meant to be.

 

Don’t give up

Even when it hurts like hell.

Don’t give up

Even when you’re by yourself.

 

You’re stronger than you think you are,

You survived every scar.

Don’t give up

This ain’t where you fall apart.

 

Don’t give up

The storm don’t last forever.

Don’t give up

You break? You rebuild better.

 

Hold the line, stand your ground,

Even when nobody’s around.

Don’t give up

Your better days are coming now.

 

You made it this far.

Don’t stop now. "
