In the quiet of night, I wrestle with fate,
The heart’s heavy burden, the crushing weight.
Does love wear a price tag, a gilded façade,
Or linger in shadows, where truth is defraud?
I see him, the one who stirs not my soul,
Yet offers a life where ambition takes toll.
Could I turn my back on the warmth that I crave,
And barter my heart for the riches he gave?
What if all men wear masks, their hearts locked away?
What if true love is just a game they all play?
Why should I cling to a hope that might shatter,
When gold glints so brightly, and love seems a scatter?
Am I less if I choose, a puppet of gold?
A villainous figure, a story retold?
Yet in whispers of night, when I’m lost in my dreams,
What if peace lies in silence, in the still of my screams?
Can a woman be free, can she rise and defy?
Can she shatter the chains, spread her wings, and learn to fly?
To seek not just comfort but solace within,
To love fiercely, wildly, and still learn to sin.
I long for a choice that ignites the deep fire,
Not just a cold bargain, a life to conspire.
In the dance of the heart, let the echoes be heard,
For a woman can choose, can love without words.
So let them all label, let the world play its part,
For I’ll walk my own path, with a fierce, unbound heart.
I’ll weave through the pain, let my passions ignite,
For in darkness, I’ll shine, a relentless, brave light.
In the depths of desire, I’ll carve out my throne,
Not just for the riches, but the strength I’ve outgrown.
I’ll gather my fragments, each piece tells my story,
A mosaic of scars, of struggle, of glory.
For life is a canvas, and I’m the bold brush,
I’ll paint my own destiny in a vibrant rush.
No longer a pawn in a game meant to bind,
I’ll chase what fulfills me, leave the empty behind.
So watch me rise higher as I follow my heart,
Embracing the journey, each moment a start.
For in every decision, in the choices I make,
A woman finds freedom and a world she can shape.
Crossroads burn me down.
