New Beginnings
I have forgotten how to feel;
With each punch even more damage done;
The moments I should remember slowly fade;
Defense mechanism for the ones
who love too much;
Possessing the heart of a champion
battle worn with emotional amnesia;
Emotions erupt with pain
and become embers of an internal fire;
Gaping wounds delay my response;
Muffling every instinct
numb to the warmth of sentiment;
Trying to give happiness
the benefit of the doubt
I enter the ring;
Beaten over and over
barely making it out;
Left bloody;
I have forgotten how to feel
breathing through the pain;
Still my champion’s heart beats;
Determined;
Demanding I remember
the giddy of happily ever after
and the promise of new beginnings.
