The Fall

I want to be angry
For anger moves bricks into place
Fortifies the wall
Stands the guardian of my heart
At attention
Protecting me from the hurt

Though I work to feed upon it
Try to fan those flames
It flees in an instant
In the face of understanding
So the walls crumble
The guard falls asleep

Laid bare before the onslaught
Ravaged by raw emotion
Facing head on
The uncertainty of tomorrow
Still standing in today
Fearing the fall

This is amazing my friend! The emotion of fearing the fall, yet not quite having the strength to build the brick walls around it to keep it out. Trying to find solace in the anger but not quite managing leaving the heart vulnerable. It is a scary place to be.. As much as one would like to be bubble wrapped.. we always can't be... Just gotta take the scrapes, bumps, and bruises and say Ha! I did it and came out alive! :D Or you might find the fall wasn't as bad as you thought it would be!

I truly enjoy your ink.. :D

That only makes you a strong woman
if you can stand your ground against
the bricks of hard knocks.

I enjoyed every word!
