you are
so
b/r/a/v/e
~ praetor princess ~
{daughter of the war goddess}
Roman, through & through
n-o-b-o-d-y
could guess
[never in a thousand years]
that you |hide|
such a /secret\
so deep
within your heart
the g-h-o-s-t-s
of your past
haunt you
the memories p/l/a/g/u/e you
even though you've
tried
your hardest
to forget
& then the words of Venus:
no demigod shall heal
your heart
as if you needed that!
but take heart
daughter of Rome
you have
strength
surpassing many
you can find the
s/t/r/e/n/g/t/h
to
let go
of your ghosts
& one day you'll find
someone
who will help you
heal
but until then
keep being brave
you may not
believe it
but it's what you do
best
