Crumbled Walls
What do I write, what do I say?
Nothing explains how I feel this way
So hard to let go of the walls in my heart
Their crumbling feels good, but my brain says not smart
My head is worried that my heart is content
Finally free from all my past has meant
Heartache, loneliness, sorrow and fear,
The anger and criticism are no longer near
Defenses were raised to handle it all
Built to last, and never to fall
My world fell apart, but the walls stood strong
Used to the chaos for far too long
My foundation was cracked, but the real me is free
True friends emerged, knowing my need
With words of encouragement typed on a screen
They were the ones there, with *hugs* for me
Abandoned by family and friends in "real life"
Only internet friends stayed real through the strife
I may not recognize you on the street
But I know your heart and soul, ours did meet
Internet friends, you broke through my wall
Tore it apart, and watched the bricks fall
You saw me emerge from the wall that was damned
Confident and strong
The woman I am
