The sun was slowly setting, the mockingjay still chirping the valley song. Sunset sighed, taking a HB pencil from behind her ear and started sketching the setting sun, exaggerating the rays of light ever so slightly. She then took out her box of paints and chose the fiery colours to paint her picture. Red, yellow, orange, ochre and gold. Sunset dried the paintbrush and put it back in the box, shutting it. She stood up, humming. Power Was all I desired (I desired, all I desired) But all that grew inside of me Was the darkness I acquired When I began to fall And I lost the path ahead That's when your friendship found me And it lifted me instead Sunset ran, touching the clock tower with her rough hands Like a phoenix burning bright In the sky I'll show there's another side to me You can't deny. I may not know what the future holds But hear me when I say That my past does not define me 'Cause my past is not today Her mind wandered back to the past, when she threw the pictures of her old self in the bin Ambition Is what I believed Would be the only way To set me free But when it disappeared And I found myself alone That's when you came and got me And it felt like I was home Like a phoenix burning bright In the sky I'll show there's another side to me You can't deny I may not know what the future holds But hear me when I say That my past does not define me Sunset rose in the air, phoenix like wings growing out of her back. It was like she was re-born. 'Cause my past is not today! Then she disappeared.
