My aquamarine
Palit Chingtham *
She may seem weak
But, she is better than you in ten different ways .
She is strong .
Stronger than the harsh sunlight
More stubborn than the hard stone .
She is ready to tackle
She is there for me .
I don't need the king's men and king's horses
She is there to put me back
Piece by piece
She won't waste time
She will strike faster than the eagle .
She will rid of the poison without a sweat
She knows but she won't tell .
She writes but never to be seen .
She loves but secretly
She can brave the winds , the strong waves
For my safety
Accepts me for who I am
She don't judge .
She makes me accept life is not fair .
Tells me to outsmart life
She is my sister , my aquamarine.
