Claiming all this strength
But inside
I’m falling apart
Broken to pieces
Why?
Because…
Suddenly these walls collapse
And now I’m visible
For everyone to see
Because…
I’ve become part of your past
Playing a role
Of a black and white photo
With edges of rips and tears
My naked body
Stained with cries and yells
With a broken heart
Bleeding wounds
And what’s left
Is a tradgedy
A disaster
That I know won’t get better
You said my smile
Was a piece of art
But now it’s cracked
Along with this heart
While the blood runs
Slowly and painfully
Down my chest
And I’m crying!
I’m begging!
I’m grasping
For a hand that cares
For a heart that loves
For arms that hold
Me when I’m too weak to sit
When I’m too weak to speak
To talk, to smile
To stand so I can answer back
If I’m fine yet

Great job expressing these feelings. I can so relate to them. I understand feeling exposed and naked if my walls were to crumble and fall. Great job on this. Thank you for sharing.
