Chapter 47: Hurt

Muddled mind

of hurt and pain

Heart is swollen and bruised

it's clear to see

that it's been abused

The butterflies in my stomach

Start to bite and scratch

This dam of salty tears

has long been dry

My constructed walls

of protection

Came down

for your free passage

But in return for my trust

and investment

All I got were scars

and a knife edged deep in my spine

These walls that I've never much maintained

I've never been happier to keep

"Knock knock"

Someone's knocking on my door

but I won't answer it

in hopes of my ugly scars fading

"Bam, bam"

The knocks have changed into slams

and if my walls crack

I'll build them back up again

And even if this shows

that I'm weak

I'd rather this,

than risk my heart

So I'll leave you be

with my heart bleeding

in my chest

And I'll ignore your knocking
