1021 Avenue A Poem by Carey Noelle

My mind cannot destroy
what my heart cannot accept,
I'm in a familiar place,
but the feelings are not the same.

All I want to do is forget,
but there are things I
must remember -
It's not this house,
It's not these walls,
that have shattered confidence.

Its not these stairs,
the echo of the hallway,
my bedroom walls,
that have risen despair.

It's not these floorboards...

But this house has built my fears,
But the fears are crashing down now,
and crumbling to the ground...

Because I don't care anymore,
To the back of my mind,
is where I'm throwing all the wrongs.

At one point,
I thought you made me weak,
But now I believe you made me strong.
