Lilian grew up in a house where only her parents could express feelings. For Lilian, poetry was a source of strength and courage. If her mother found out, however, she’d shame her for penning words that dance and sing on the pages. She feared her mother would take her verse, invading her privacy, and sharing her soul with mocking strangers. So, she hid her poetry in a location where no one could find it, a secret place in her heart.
Lilian wrote beautiful poetry. She sat in her window seat at night with the lights turned low while everyone slept.
