Shaky Reliance

he said: i'm a woman of steel...
he doesn't know this a fraud seal...
my heart and soul on a "hill"..
wishing nothing but complete heal...

i have long live to love..
knowing, these all wants to have..
i have taken so many risks..
fallen unwavering to various tricks..

i am not a materialistic..
nor am i a someone plAtonic..
i got heart small not gigantic..
yet, it beats huge with ethics..

i fought hard within hot waters..
seeking fortresses, guarding to buffer..
i conquering with God who gives power..
no less, success it yonder...

patience..
patience..
patience..

i don't want to be on defiance
though, i am of silence
appearing tough and of calmness..
tell you what, inside is a shaky reliance.

The reliance you crave is enlightening Olive. I'm not materialistic either, just the wanting of a happy life. Not a lot ot ask for to be honest, James :)
