It is as if…

I am no superwoman with superpowers
I am ordinary, like you, like them, like her,
I am not super, I am just secondary
Life’s bullets permeate my emotional shield,
too… and they harm…
Sometimes they sap my strength leaving not a trace

ask me not
the labyrinth of love
i can’t explain
the reserve was gone
what is left behind?
to hope for a sullen thought
that one
never changes his mind?
or to believe otherwise
that favors reform?
but the flower
is feeble beset with fears
where to resort…?
ask me not!
but on second thought
ask me
