i have realized that i
shelter myself into believing that
my heart needs to be
stone cold, rock solid
but
i have also realized
that this elemental wall
that i have built up
not only guards against potential
heartache
loss
grief
but it also
blocks any incoming
love
light
hope
so maybe it is time
for me to break down those walls
and allow myself to breathe in
all the potential love, light, and hope, that's waiting to check in
