I breathe in..
Deep sniffs of satisfaction
Taking delight
In my creation

I've hired a Task-Master
To supervise..
Re-structure my thoughts

The walls of denial..
Will be torn down
Once my personal fortress of protection
Now re-built with acceptance

The roads leading to regret
Newly paved..
With the wisdom of experience

The mountain of uncertainties
Disintegrated..
By explosives of self-confidence

The Task-Master
A professor of sorts
Keeps school
With my mind


The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar
