The Aries
Bold as fire, she burns in the open,
but inside, her heart melts like slow, molten lava.
She will fight, no matter what the cost,
unmoved by the light she’s lost.
She speaks of fleeting marks,
yet weeps for every scar in silent nights,
wearing laughter like a shield.
Once, she loved the world
when she knew so little of it.
Now, with every truth that seeps into her days,
weeks, months, and years,
she aches to turn it all to ash.
Her birthday…her own new year
but she will not celebrate.
For in the quiet,
she feels the hollow more than the candles’ glow.
And though she calls love a trick of the light,
Imagine buying all her trust with a ring.
her gaze could cradle a soul
for hours, for eternity,
if only her iron mask would bend.
Strength was never her inheritance.
But that’s what she was
taught in rooms where no one listened.
Her voice carries truth,
but the world only hears the steel.
