Broken Walls By Alyna Rowe
These walls all build them selves around me
Multicolored bricks and stone pave over my face
Smudges of graffiti art surround me and paint a canvas of my image
My flaws and mistakes are defined
My ugliness and hatred reveals itself
I am Broken
The cracks and chips in my walls begin to fall around me
Pieces of my broken heart shatter to the ground
The terrible, dreadful sound echoes with all of the voices that whisper: "You can't"
I hold my hands up to my ears
To drown out the voices
All the ones that say I can't
All the ones that say I'm not
All the ones that lie
I squeeze my eyes shut and wince against the pain
All the voices that say I am nothing
Rack against my brain
The feel of your touch
Brought my head up
My eyes opened
My heart healed
Your arms went around me
And shielded away the pain
The whisper of your voice
"Your beautiful."
"Your Perfect"
"Your amazing"
My heart began to flutter and the walls began to fall
They crumbled to the ground
And reveled the setting sun
Your face is silhouetted against the crimson sky
Your features are defined
Your Perfect
Your Real
You broke down my walls
And gathered up the pieces of my fallen heart
You put them all back together
And made me
I was beautiful
I was perfect
I was amazing
And then you let go
My heart fell apart
And the walls rebuilt themselves
Instead of stone I faced steel
The coldness of my soul
Stared me in the face
And broke me once again
Never again will you be able to fix
My Broken Walls
