A secret held, in every place.
In your trials, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

About Someone

Patience’s Trial

In the trials of your ways,
Lies a test that does amaze.
Each word you spoke, each action unclear,
Turned my heart to a place of fear.
Your unpredictability, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every frown, every sigh,
You made my patience die.
Your chaos, a cold wave,
In your presence, I am brave.
In your absence, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
