This is me
Still intact but not fully put together
what should’ve been is no longer
what could’ve been has been destroyed
the hopes and dreams
What once was so strong is no longer.
It’s time for new dreams
it’s time for a new foundation
It’s time to rebuild
the pieces will always be there
They will never fully detach
the strength of that foundation is you
it’s your choice what you do with it
it’s your choice how you proceed
do you tear it down
do you rebuild?
Do you pray that it can become some thing again
or do you turn away and not look back
the walls around you are no longer
they’re the walls you used to protect yourself they have been stripped away
burnt to a crisp
You could say that what you put together & hoped would last forever couldn’t shield us.
It’s not your fault.
I see a house
I see a house that was once fully erect
I see a house that had life
that had love
that had Hope.
I see a house that had secrets.
I see a house that had walls that crumbled down at the first hint of the smoke.
I see a house that fought
I see a house that battled
But then I see a house that raged
that rage let go and took over
& tore through the whole foundation
that rage didn’t stop
It just kept on burning.
It left reminders
A reminder that stands in front of me right now every day a reminder that I can no longer escape
no matter how hard I try
reminders that will be with me for the rest of my entire life
whether I choose to let those reminders break me
whether I choose to let those reminders help me
to process through the destruction
through the chaos
through the heartbreak
through the anger
through the rage
through the bitterness
what will I choose?
From the front, you still see a foundation
from the front you still see life, but as you walk around & grasp it’s entirety
you realize nothing is strong forever
Nothing is meant forever
Nothing lasts forever
no matter how hard you fight
no matter how hard you hold on
it can be gone in an instant.
& if you don’t get out when that first spark flies, it will destroy you
It will destroy you & the entire contents of your soul
It will leave you unrecognizable
