Never the Same Again

these walls that we have built with our own hands 

are slowly crashing to the ground

the foundation so weak as the the power of this quake 

buries them into the embers of this december

don't turn your cheek or bat an eyelash

because when you discover life's true meaning

you will understand that this is just another ending

leading to another beginning

an open door that is yours to take

to escape this pain and this hurt

hold yourself up and stand tall again

and find the strength in yourself to fight back

against the ones who deceive you

the liars and the heartbreakers

the backstabbers and the pretenders

just remember to never surrender

to the games that they play

because then they will betray

your trust and then you will find yourself

left in the dust

so rise up my son and stand above

the ones that have hurt you

and put you through this pain

because when you understand that you don't need them

you will never be the same again

A deep and thought provoking write dear Logan. Love the last two lines, so true, so true. Have to trust oneself above all others in this life so that your own foundation is strong. Thanks again for sharing Logan and for your wonderful comments. Keep writing! Take care Love Light Patty
