Roses And Thorns

96

-Realistic girl and her poetry.

She sat in her dimly lit room, the weight of the world pressing against her chest as she lost herself in the verses of a worn poetry book.

Each line resonated within her, striking a delicate balance between comfort and despair.

The words spoke to her brokenness, awakening emotions she had long buried beneath the surface.

Yet, as beautiful as poetry was, it had begun to feel like a trap, binding her to her past rather than freeing her.

It was time to break free.

She realized she needed to let go—to stop romanticizing the future and lamenting what was lost.

Instead, she resolved to embrace the present, even in a city full of unfamiliar faces.

A lone wolf at heart, she thrived in small gatherings, finding solace in her solitude.

Over time, she had transformed, shedding layers of insecurity and discovering strengths she never knew existed.

She learned to articulate the unspoken through her writing, each poem a testament to her journey.

With every word, she reclaimed a piece of herself, focusing on personal growth and independence.

Heartbreak had taught her resilience, and she was determined to rise above the trivial concerns of love and friendship that once consumed her thoughts.

From her perspective, true power lay in knowledge and self-sufficiency.

While the idea of love seemed alluring, it often came with heartache, something she was not willing to endure again.

Books painted a vivid picture of romance and dreams, but she knew that in her reality, success meant hard work and dedication, not fantasy.

She dreamed of a fulfilling job, of financial stability, and of mastering her craft.

Those aspirations fueled her, and unlike the numerous fantasies of romance, they felt tangible and real.

In a world where dreaming alone wasn't enough, she embraced the necessity of effort to shape her own destiny.

As she closed her poetry book, a sense of determination washed over her.

She would write her own story—one that honored her reality while still allowing for the beauty of dreams, poetry, and all the complexities of being human.
