Remarkable Story

I reflect on all the mistakes I consume my thoughts into pointless fear My insecurities are my foundation My walls were built to keep you out My walls were to protect me For years i"ve lead with fear Dove deep into mistrust Walked a tightrope of rage Fell flat on my face Once you were there to pick me up But i kicked you down Now trust is gone Lost in seas of trauma Flooded by me or of those before You stood tall and rose above My darkness dragged you down You found your light You found your strength But i continue to be confined within my walls This pain had nothing to do with you This pain was all on me The way i drove you away I am so sorry The mean things i spoke i wish i could take back You were and are the inspiration to build a more open foundation As i speak to the ones that can help I hope you can see past all that hurt and someday forgive and trust me again with your heart. I speak from the heart I write the words I just pray you decide to read this remarkable story we began to write together so many years ago.
