Analysis of I am the phoenix burning bright

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)



I am the phoenix no one sees my pain. I burn and my flesh is burned away.  Life is always hard  and brother is my opposite blond blue eyed. He was and is so angry with our father. I saw him die. I burn with the power of the sun .   I try to heal hearts but mine is burning. There is no solution i am alone i no longer draw any hearts to my side.
