Through my skin there lies a butterfly buried with-in
Shadows of larks and ointments can not heal
Abrasions are mine and mine alone.
To each of us there is a soul
and mine continues to breathe on its' own.
Reaching for love is prohibited
I cannot love another
so, another shall not love I.
Through my eyes there is buried a sadness deeply inside,
these tears that lie in the ducks of my eyes
are shadows of my silent cries.
Reaching for cover seeking only with-in myself.
Forgiving another,
I could not seem to confide...
For I have not yet, forgiven I.
Solace of miracles
twining like a flower bud in bloom
Like a butterfly in my cocoon.
I somehow come alive
Free to fly and free to survive
Hidden no more in your lies.
I have finally found the true me,
buried deeply inside
as I have forgiven I
and I now love me.
Through tear drops fallen from the sky
my soul baptized in love.
Abrasions healed by faith
a wall of glass was there
waiting only for someone special to break.
Author notes
I know this is not my best write ,yet for some reason I like the rawlness of it all. I feel as though we do build walls yet we are only searching for someone to trust to let in and be a part of it all. So many of our walls are just searching to let the people in that can understand and relate and want the freedom as much as I do. I think this poem says it all for me no matter how unprofessional it may seem.
Prompt.
Randy Pausch one said, "Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not here to keep us out. Brick walls are here to show us how badly we want something. Because brick walls are there to keep the ones who don't want it badly enough."
