Lilly’s Whisper 

Embrace the shadow

that follows behind,

and the ones inside. 
If I told you my life story 

starting from then to now,

would you understand my ways? 

Why I fell in love with her?

The first ambitious reach to feel loved. 

She was always there, my inner self,

willing to speak, protect, and be.

This her

 is the me

that I was afraid to be yesterday. 

Today 

my wings reach farther than the tree,

both high and wide, 

with words 

bearing thought provoking anomalies.
