Kristin Cook Poet Rhyme

Thoughts of a Fool

I built these walls
To protect my heart
I got trapped inside
I thought it was smart
If I can’t feel, I can heal
A cold, lonely path
A victim of defensive wrath
I’ll push you away and beg you stay
Aware of my weakness
And profound in my strength
Scared of the courage it takes
To risk the heartaches
I’ve suffered through pain
The memory makes me go insane
Why does it hurt so bad?
Love shouldn’t drive you mad
All I’m losing is time
And I thought I was in my prime
Clueless about life
Confused about love
Emotionless thereof

I'm an old man and I too consider myself clueless about life. Smile, tomorrow is a new day:) i enjoyed reading you this evening. I once wrote a poem,"Point of No Return" on this very subject:)
