Revealed
I say I love truth,
But all I am is lies.
It has been this way from my youth,
to hide what I am inside.
Sometimes you look into my eyes,
But all courage in me has died.
From dawn until late dusk,
Cloak myself i must.
In this way there is safety,
Lest someone come in and break me.
My heart is fragile,
My knees are weak,
Unto me, Lord speak.

AlyxSarik
I am just a girl living in St. Paul, Minnesota who loves to write. I think too much and I dream big. I welcome adventure with open arms and my imagination kidnaps reality. I love experiencing new things and daring to learn. Music is the rhythm of my heartbeat and lyrics are the language of my soul. I love the musty smell of old books and anything vintage-inspired. I am bohemian at heart and art is the treasure of my life's voyage. I love to feel the kisses of the winds of nature, and dwelling in the secret place of peace with my Creator. Love is my destiny and passing it on to whomever I cross paths with.
