my secret side isn't soft.

In the fortress of my soul, where secrets dwell, I've built walls around my heart, an armored shell. Forged with metals, mystical and rare, A bulwark against the siege of despair. This heart of mine, a gentle, loving core, Sheltered from the storms that rage and roar. Kindness is the banner I've unfurled, A soft oasis in a hardened world. Yet, when pushed beyond the bounds of pain, When trust is shattered, love's efforts in vain, The force within, once dormant, now unfurled, Becomes a power unmatched in the world. A tempest's heart, a spirit that won't yield, With every scar, its armor further steeled. Yet hope whispers softly, through the cracks and the fray, That love might just find a way.
