in a room full of strangers.
Handle voices,
pressure,
attitudes— ..
like it’s nothing.
I’ve learned how to fight,
how to defend,
how to never back down.
But when it comes to you
I forget everything I know.
My strength disappears
in the one place
I thought I’d feel safe.
And suddenly,
the girl who can face anything
becomes someone
who doesn’t know
how to protect her own heart.
dot...
At work,
I wear armor.
In life,
I stand tall.
In battle,
I know exactly what to do.
But with you—
I came unarmed.
No walls.
No guard.
No protection.
And maybe that’s why it hurts so much,
because the strongest version of me
chose to be soft
only for you.
