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.
