Broken Walls Poem by Tammy Mitchlmore

I feel the cool breeze in my hair
The warm sun on my face
For now my world is calm, at peace
But soon my world goes dark
There is confusion and conflict
A war is going on
Between mind and heart
My mind tells me to stay in the dark
To keep up the walls I have built
To keep you out
But my heart tells me different
It tells me to go into the light
To let the walls fall
To let you in
I don't know what to do
If I let you in will you hurt me
Or will you help me heal
I decided to listen to my heart
I let the walls full
I went into the light
I let you in
You helped me heal old wounds
That I would have never been able to heal myself
And once again my world is calm, at peace
