The ‘Little Man’s’ Odyssey of Resilience and Growth

This introspective verse by Francesco delves into the soul’s journey, using the “little man” to symbolise self-discovery, resilience and growth, exclusively for Different Truths.

I could write
of my thoughts
dig into my body
everyday
the rough stone
smoothing
the roughness
impurities.
Inside
a long night
like a flower to be plucked
slips
on the walls of life
this little man
apprentice in the heart
warrior in blood.
