In my fortress of love
I walked around with my favorite flower
A yellow hyacinth
The perfect flower for my masked emotions
Emotions i was yet to reveal
Up until she walked into my fortress
With her beautiful smile and her beautiful life
And my fortress took me on a quest to unmask
My masked emotion
I wanted everything she had
Her beautiful life rubbed my failures in my face
With voiceless patterns of who i was and who i could become
But instead of resenting her for all she had
I chose to align my life with hers
And went from wanting what she had
To having more than she once had
Her beautiful life led to me to my destiny
I was thankful
