🔱 The King Who Learned to Let Go I built my walls to keep you safe, Afraid of the world beyond my gates. I held you close, I ruled with fear, Never knowing how it hurt you, dear. I thought that love meant holding tight, Keeping you sheltered from the night. But every dream I turned away Was a piece of you I couldn't save. If I could turn the tides of time, I'd listen to your heart, not mine. I'd let you chase the world above, And trust the strength I raised with love. So come here, child, and rest awhile, Let me remember your little smile. No crown, no kingdom matters to me! My greatest treasure was always thee. 🩵

🐙 The Making of a Monster She wasn't born with a heart of stone, Nor destined to rule the deep alone. Perhaps she was hurt, perhaps denied, Until bitterness grew where softness once lived inside. She traded her kindness for power and pride, Built walls of magic where pain could hide. She learned to control what she couldn't repair, And became the very thing she once feared. But beneath the tentacles, darkness and sea, Was there once a soul longing to be free? For monsters aren't always born in the night; Sometimes they're souls who have lost their light. But pain may explain the darkness we see It never decides who we're destined to be. 🖤

🩵 In the Silence, I Found Myself Again I searched the depths for who I was, Beneath the waves, beyond because. I traded pieces of my soul To chase a dream, to feel made whole. I lost my voice, but not my heart, And even broken, held each part. The world grew quiet, the waters still, And I began to hear me, until I heard the girl beneath the pain, The one who'd danced through wind and rain. She'd been there all along, you see, Buried beneath who they wanted me to be. No borrowed voice, no need to prove, No more permission left to move. For in the silence, deep and blue, I found the strength to start anew. And now I am no longer lost, No longer measuring my worth by cost. The sea holds secrets, waves may roam, But I found my voice by finding home. No longer searching distant shores, Or leaving pieces at closed doors. The silence held what I couldn't see The person I was always meant to be.

🌿 The Willow and the Fox Beneath the moon, where wild roots grow, There stands a willow, bending low. Its branches whisper secrets old, Of hearts once broken, spirits bold. It bends with storms but will not break, It knows which paths the soul must take. Its roots hold truths the world forgets, That even sorrow nourishes. A fox appears at twilight's door, Its amber eyes hold something more. A clever soul, both wild and free, A keeper of what we cannot see. It teaches us to trust our sight, To find our way through darkest night. To know when silence speaks the truth, And guard the wonder of our youth. The willow teaches us to bend, The fox reminds us to trust again. One holds the wisdom of the earth, One knows the power of rebirth. And where their spirits intertwine, The wild, the wise, the stars align. For those who listen, still and true, The ancient world has much to show you. Bend like the willow. Walk like the fox. Trust the wisdom that lives within your soul. 🌙
