I do not wish to be weak
I want to be resilient,
impenetrable,
like a fortress.
A fortress does not bow
nor does it surrender;
once finished, only time can touch it.
I want to be a fortress,
more resilient with the years,
more settled,
more determined,
with walls they'll never bring down.
Though I've been a fortress,
I desire to let you in.
I wish, for you, that my walls
are surmountable.
That my defenses lay down
and my guards stand aside.
After all, I've a suspicion
I'm stronger with you.
