You have built a wall
to hide behind,
unable to face a life you
feel has been unkind.
Too late for you to
try and start again
as you brace yourself for
another emotional hurricane.
You keep your head down
in the hope it won’t do
too much damage
leaving you to pick up
any pieces you can salvage.
What you would give to be
able to stand your ground
instead of being discarded
into life’s lost and found.
