Embracing oneself

Poetry for what you hide within.

Without excuses or remorse

grasp this life by its menacing horns

and tame it.

Tame the injustice and the misfortune that provide a sour favoring

in this life of strife and joy.

For, when death finally comes for you

thou shall be proud,

because in victory Valkyries awaited their scarry warrior.

Amidst the countless bricks that make up this castle

- or rather, fortress — we reside from dawn till dusk

become your own chemise guarding your life.

There, cherish in your strength

and in your unwavering resolve that kept you going.

As, I daresay, you had them always within you.

Giving you the instruments to shine

brightly-so as the brightest Pleiades star.
