Breaking Down
I reluctantly fell into your arms like a defeated child
powerless, depressed, and full of regrets
.
regrets are easier to manage
than building self-worth
.
blaming me sets all of them free
and I am left feeling alone and unloved
.
drowned out by the constant train
of busy brains and flapping menacing mouths
.
it could be looked at as a disgrace by many
when outstanding behavior raises red flags
.
the onlookers should keep walking
instead of getting involved in this circular ring of hate
.
I long for the days when we used to lay under the sun on the sand
with the beach in our spirits and the wind filling our hopeful lungs
.
I long for the days when you looked into my eyes
and I could see the light of love in your smile
.
now, all I see before me is a person I don’t care to know
the energy emitting from your aura makes me want to go
.
I’ll walk, no, I’ll run as quickly as these worn-out legs will allow me
no one can sway me, and no one can touch me
.
I sit in a box in the back alley, isolated away from condemning eyes
alone, with my pain clinging to me like a friend
.
I close myself once more to protect my sensitivity
emptying any sense of pride, I may have hidden
.
as much as they break me, I will not grow bitter
instead, I will pray for those who are familiar with pain
~Thank you for reading, and until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!~ 🙂
~May your heart be as peaceful as this dove, and may the sun always shine on your path, as goodness rains on you from above~
