When he leads...
Weakness breeds over correction

In the fractured realm where weakness breeds,
men of fragile will scatter their burdens,
leaving shards of their inadequacy
for women to piece together.
From the ruins of their hesitance,
we forge our strength,
a furnace stoked by their absence,
molding ourselves into shields of resolve.
We become warriors in our own right,
battle-worn and hardened,
our hearts encased in iron armor,
a tempest of fierceness
that guards against the world’s relentless storms.
In the shadows of their failures,
we rise,
bearing the weight of their lost promises
like a mantle of indomitable spirit.
Yet, amidst the tumult of self-made fortresses,
a true man arrives—a beacon in the tempest,
his presence a sovereign of light and strength.
He leads not with the bluster of false pride
but with the quiet assurance of steadfast guidance.
He offers a sanctuary,
a refuge where vulnerability can once again be tenderly cradled.
Under his watchful eye,
the armor begins to dissolve,
the fortress walls recede,
revealing the tender heart beneath
the fierce exterior.
With his protection, we find freedom,
not from our own strength,
but from the necessity of wielding it alone.
In his embrace, we are fierce and safe,
a paradox of strength and surrender
that restores the balance
we once feared lost forever.
