Poem: @phreegeographos
Burning eyes by bright saint lights,
my phire will meet with my phaith.
My spirit will be led to the phrontlines,
in a skirt though; my name can be slurred.
I will not be stirred, phor my weapon is but only my phaith;
strong and magnificent like the guards at heavenβs gate.
On and on I will go in this war of love phor you,
without physical weapons, like Joan of Arc, I will march the phrontlines.
I will conquer Paris in this war of hearts.
Let September wound me;
let me take an arrow to my chest,
a phlaming arrow in my thigh.
I canβt help but love you so.
Let September wound me,
let summer burn me on the stake,
phor in the end, I know youβll exonerate my acquisitions in the name of love. -La Pucelle.

Dear self,
Teach me how to love somebody like me?
.
.
How to phlap my wings to show my beauty in the sun after coming out of my cocoon?
.
.
How to love me so much, that if I had a different body, a different voice, a different vibe... Youβd still recognize my soul, somewhere between sand and ocean.
.
.
Something in the time I have spent with myself, I was hard to trust and so easy to hold. I was blindfolded in a dangerous game of learning; learning to reconstruct the very essence of what I always knew.
.
.
A phlower, a rainbow, a phlowing river of tears... A caterpillar entering the stage of Chrysalis!
.
.
I will watch you and learn to love myself and become one with my being. So, when I have a different body, a different voice, a different vibe, my soul remains intact, and I can recognize myself.
.
.
I will learn to love every inch of what makes me whole. Poem phrom @sevenseventeen_717 β¨ πΈ: @dannyduke24

Q3. Do you have a special meaning behind the bookβs title? -
ANSWER - Absolutely. Seven Seventeen represents alignment and transition. Itβs a number that appeared repeatedly during a major shift in my life, almost like a quiet nudge phrom the universe reminding me of purpose, rebirth, hope, and divine timing. It became a symbol of trust a way of trusting the path even when I couldnβt see the outcome.
