Lady Labyrinth Poet Free verse

Oh Child

Oh child

sometimes 
HOME 
is not a place
war cannot
will never 
erase

it’s the armour
you wear 
the coat of arms
on the shield 
you bare 
through bloodline

borne 
in your heart
in your mind
in your name
unconquerable 
Divine

sometimes 
HOME 
is not a place
it’s a voice 
a face, a memory
a saving grace 

it’s the strength 
of Light 
never lost 
guiding you 
HOME 
constant, true

always
shining you through 


(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“Fortress” 
https://youtu.be/dNwNSU5NikU





“I don't want to fail you so
I tell you the awful truth
Everyone faces darkness on their own
As I have done, so will you

Every fortress falls
It is not the end
It ain't if you fall
But how you rise that says
Who you really are
So get up and go through
If ever your fortress caves
You're always safe in mine “

(“Fortress”, Queens of the Stone Age)

I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right.” Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 11:19 AM “I love you, with a love so great that it simply couldn't keep growing inside my heart, but had to leap out and reveal itself in all its magnitude.” Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 11:14 AM “Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?... Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 2:06 PM such a strong girl that Anne and her sister. Her words are taken into everyone's heart. A true angel. And strongly relevant in today's current climate of war and rumours of war. Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 11:24 AM Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!” Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 11:14 AM "Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.” Anne Frank, The Diary of Anne Frank Lady Labyrinth March 3, 2022 at 11:14 AM “Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.” Anne Frank
