...And Building Them Back (A Sequel To Shattering Barriers...) Poem by Kaysen Fraker

Out of so many
I only shattered a few
ruble lying on the ground
around my heart

The barriers now gone
letting in everything
everything I thought I need
everything I despise

Pain
this is what I feel
before I thought I felt pain
now I truly know its sting

Before it was dull
a bareable pain
now it’s sharp
murderous

I know now
truths that before now
was beyond my blocked vision
horrible truths

I need love
I crave love
yet love is what hurts
what I crave

Craves my destruction!
