She wasn’t that strong
The courage she wore
That wasn’t true
Her bold speech
Purposeful strides
No-one actually knew
Behind her clear decisions
Those controlled emotions
A barrier crossed by few
Behind the façade
A girl so broken
Counting lost years
Burdens too heavy
For her fragile mind
Shattered her dreams
Sacrifices too great
Snatched her hopes
Leaving scars deep
But with pride too high
She had no choice but
To hide behind the facade
...Illusive...Road... 
Great poem! 🙂

Poem is definitely nice. But is it about the lady behind the poem or just a poem? I know, I am asking a question on a public platform… But you posted it on here… Was just curious.
As a poem it’s as usual a fab word art.

Well there isn’t a tactical way to answer around this on a public platform like you say :p
But I personally can never JUST write a poem, I need an inspiration, and most of that comes from the mind and life of the lady behind the poem 🙂
Thank you.

True.
Do you write snippets and thoughts on different topics apart from poems?

Well I used to… but over the past year I’ve preferred to channel through the so called poems :p
