I found this amazing poem in a book a long time ago, so I just decided to share it. Emphasizing on the fact, I DID NOT WRITE THIS MASTERPIECE, all credit goes to the rightful author, one of the many who shared their works in the book. Chicken soup poems. :)
Stone by stone (chicken soup poems)
I have a wall you cannot see
because its deep inside of me
It blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide
You can't reach in
I can't reach out
you wonder what's it all about.
The wall i built that you cant see
results from insecurity
Each time my tender heart was hurt
The scars within grew worse and worse
So stone by stone
I built a wall
That's now so thick it will not fall
Please understand that its not you
continue trying to break through
I want so much to show myself
and love from you will really help
so bit by bit
chip at my wall
Till stone by stone it starts to fall
I know the process will be slow
Its never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained
Upon ones heart from years of pain
I'm so afraid
to let you in
I know i might get hurt again
I try so hard to break the wall
But seem to get nowhere at all
For stone upon each stone i've stacked
and left between them not a crack
The only way
to make it fall
Are imperfections on the wall
I did my best I could to build
A perfect wall,
but there are still
A few small flaws,
which are the key
To breaking through the wall to me
Please use each flaw
to cause a crack
To knock a stone off of the sack
For just as stone by stone was laid
With every hurt,
with every pain.
So stone by stone
the wall will break
As love replaces every ache
Please be the one who cares enough
To find the flaws,
no matter what
Once again, credit goes to the rightful author - who is not me.
