Foundations

I used to be an open foundation Unbounded by walls But firm where I stood With light shone upon me You came along And stacked the bricks one by one Shutting out the light Trapping the darkness inside My change went unnoticed For you saw the light Peaking through the windows Where you wanted me to be seen What I truly needed, however, Was someone to take me apart Piece by piece Letting the light back in It wasn't until you left That I realized the windows weren't enough And I left myself vulnerable To anyone ready to take me apart I am now an open foundation Unbounded by walls Firm where I stand With light shone upon me
