"YOURS TRULY, YOUR WARRIOR PRINCESS" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

I would like to give you the world,
but I don’t even own it.
None of us do.
Even so, you’re one of my VIPs in this universe,
more than I’m just one of your kids.
I wish I could do more, just for you.

Don’t worry.
Just believe that I am still strong enough for this.
I have to hide all my mental scars again,
so you’ll let me be the warrior
against reality’s deadliest kiss.
I’ll pretend that I don’t feel the pain.

Let’s just hope the storm’s not taking too long.
I’ll just fight even harder for our lives to carry on…
