Hey…I’m back from mom’s…no need to tell all of you how that went….
But while I was there I found a poem that describes me really well and I thought I’d share it with all of you.
I have a wall you cannot see
Because it’s deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side
And keeps emotions there to hide.
You can’t reach in,
I can’t reach out.
You wonder what it’s all about.
The wall I built that you can’t 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 it’s 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,
Til stone by stone it starts to fall.
I know the process will be slow,
It’s never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained
Upon one’s 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 I 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 in the wall.
I did the 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 stack.
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.
It explains so much of how I feel. About my trust issues. And how I want to fix it. But I can’t do it on my own.

this poem is not about you.....it's about everyone on this planet. we all suffer from this wall building syndrome. mine are high and wide and i trust no one completely. thats what happens when your parents are drunks and let you down i guess, so i know the feeling and feel great connection to you because you understand this so well that you relate to this poem. you are so healthy to see this so early in life; thats a good sign. this barrier we construct to protect ourselves from hurt, makes us all common beggers in life for love....and that hurts because it's free and we can give all we want to each other and end up giving none.
i'm sorry you feel this pain so deeply...for you at least, love is on it's way. bless you.

That's a good poem. It's a great way of asking for help and asking for closeness while acknowledging how hard it is for you to let someone be that close to you.

The poem is very touching and it shows how mature and special your insight is. You are not defined by what your mom or anyone else says about you. You are a person in her own right. And all of us here know that you are a sincere, caring person and someone we like very much. Thanks for sharing your poem. Joy
