In the game of love, we dance on life’s battlefield,
In the silent spaces where frustrations yield.

I am shy, I am bold
I am naïve, I am shrewd

What really am I?
I am Woman.
Multi faceted,
Can’t put a label on me.

I am the reaction to every of your action.

"Melancholy melody of mania and madness" are very strong words to express the complexities of human emotion. You make me see how unexplained sadness can feel like a melody that dances between the realms of mania and madness
