My Shack
May 25, 2011
I've been trying to build up a castle,
but I've been defeated,
with no sense of protection.
I wanted to build walls around my weaknesses.
And I did
in truth.
Only for my effort to be destroyed,
my walls crumbled
and my heart broke.
With it broken and bleeding
I cried.
I cried for help
for dignity
and for strength.
Until I realized
the one who broke me
was the answer.
So I gave in
and accepted what you did
only to be hurt once again.
My shack will never be a castle.
