LITERARY| Knowing the great unknown

by: Reticent Candor

Brick by brick built my fortress no more damsel in distress this time I wear this white dress I will be my own countess

I close my eyes, and I'm safe won't let these words make me chafe leaving the daft little waif won't allow another strafe

I sat on this calm meadow vanishing all these shadows a sweet and charming hello to a brand new place I go

in this garden, I'm alive let my flowers bloom and thrive slowly breathe and count to five wide awake, ready to strive
