A Fortress Inside...

Deep down in me,

I built a fortress to let happiness and sadness live amicably,

The latter to show how important the former is.


Deep down in me,

I sowed the seeds of wisdom to let hope and despair stay harmoniously,

The latter to show how significant, the former is.


Deep down in me,

I built a fortress, so rigid and strong against the storm,

To tackle any kind of situation, even if requires reform.


Though within the fortress, I can feel its weight,

Longing for peace, to venture to the world outside.

I can't bear this burden any longer inside.


The walls may crack guarding my fate, Hiding my tears, accompanying me in solitude, but I set it free

I allow just a crack or two, and trust the process with glee,

To explore love, friendship and peace.

Thirty-Six and Thriving

At thirty-six, she stands so tall, A woman who has seen it all. The rush of youth, the weight of years, The strength behind her hidden tears...
