Entangled

She is still  a woman~
Even if she  is weak and  IMPERFECT~
But it doesn’t mean she is BROKEN;
Despite those  pillars  that  have  been CRACKED 
when  tremor  came to her silent FACADE 
and  ruined her sanctuary~
Her sacred  paradigm  still stood.

She is still a woman~
Who sees what is  beyond~
Despite the MASK that entangled her
to a liverish labyrinths of make-believe;
She still believes in you.

She is still a woman~
Who was TORN between time and space~
An all-time warrior, though wounded and FLAWED;
Traversed the quandary beyond untrodden paths
and climbed through endless heights;
And though crippled and creased, she rose like phoenix ~
to see what lies above each passing cloud,
to prove that she is not an ILLUSION
but still a real woman in your eyes.
