Array ( [sid] => 61237 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fragile [time] => 2004-08-24 13:04:39 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You wouldn’t think I was fragile,
But please stop & look awhile,
Inside my soul you will see,
The delicate heart deep inside me.

My fragile state is very well hidden,
To break my soul is totally forbidden,
To hurt & scar me is such a sin,
As I am wilting deep from within.

I have a steel door in front of my soul,
This is to keep me remaining whole,
I’d do anything to keep my feelings intact,
Put on any front, face or act.

If you show feelings you can be hurt,
You will be left to rot in the dirt,
Over the years I have hardened myself,
For the protection of my mental health.

My guard is present most of the time,
I’ve let it down now I’ve something that’s mine,
Still I find it almost impossible to let go,
Of all the doubt that lives in me so.

I have been accused of being quite cold,
As I’ve sat there & watched heartache unfold,
I do this because if I let myself cry,
I will have to answer people’s questions of why?

This high & secure wall of pure steel,
Keeps me from breaking or beginning to peel,
Each time I get hurt & suffer in some way,
My guard comes up & that’s where it will stay.

This flows very well, pixie. It is well put together. I hope one day you are able to find the strength and courage within yourself, to allow another person to help you build up your spirit, and tear down those walls.

Oh Pixie what a piece of art this is, it's truly remarkable and ever so well writen. I can relate to this in many ways. It was sad, touching & very powerful. Excellent, excellent work. A great read, I really felt it.
