Behind the Facade
I don't see a face. I see a facade. For that is all I am allowed to see. I don't see the real emotions. I see the practiced gestures. For that is all That comes across. I don't see the vulnerable heart. I see the calculative mind. For that is all That is expressed. I [...]
Would You Bet on Yourself?
We often complain that others, especially those we are close to, are not supportive enough for us. At times, we are plain mad about it. At other times, we are too hurt to say anything. But that is how "others" will always be! Either too busy or too difficult or too indifferent and so on. [...]
My Knight in Shining Armour
Those dreamy tales Of knights and damsels I blame For my unrealistic expectations. The ones that told me To wait To be saved With patience and poise.
