The Strength of Softness

In shadows cast by trials, hearts confined,
We bear the weight of proving we belong.
The world declares our strength, our steel mind,
Yet all we seek is love's soft, tender song.

Through storms, we've walked with grace, heads held up high,
Defined by strength, we hide the pain inside.
But in the quiet night, we yearn to fly,
To shed the armor, let the tears subside.

Why must our worth be tied to strength alone?
For we are more than battles we have fought.
In luxury and love, our hearts are shown,
Deserving of the ease we've always sought.

To live in softness, beauty, and in peace,
Is not a dream but right that won't decrease.
