Hiding behind walls, stumbling along high falls
Don’t remember the time they appeared
Not only keeping you out, hiding all routes
But keeping me in as once feared
Back when The Small One was in control
To keep the rage within
Now roles are reversed and The Small One cursed
To an existence where her presence is dim
The Small One was strong, but stumbled too long
And the cold and the anger revealed
It suppressed her weak form, and left her to mourn
As the fate of their shell it sealed
It weakened her heart, and took over the part
Of control of the shell they dwelt
And showed it ways, to relieve the days
To which it would always melt
The anger and cold, made the shell more bold
But scared The Small One within
As it began to die, The Small One would cry
In the corner it was forced to hide in
The shell is now weak, the relief it would keep
Never to escape its grasp
The anger is gone, The Small One forlorn
But still within its clasp
The Small One tries, as it screams and cries
To pick up the pieces of the shell
But it's now too weak, and the relief that it seeks
Comes from a blade carving a dell
But slowly you come, like the beat of a drum
I knew you from so far away
Carefully you bring The Small One back out
Its become less afraid today

Sorry for the long wait~ I'll promise to judge by tomorrow ~ I've been waiting on Dark to give me her two cents ~ She told me earlier~ but there were some additional poems submitted since then. I sent her a message... a few days ago~
If I don't hear from her by Friday I will close and judge then ~ Let me know if you have any problems waiting until then ....
Thanks
