Frozen Shut

Frozen Shut

Four corners to my heart

Tightly closed

Packed with emotions

Sealed Shut

So you aggressively cut

Through every stitch

All my thoughts unfolded

Imperfection

Inner thoughts

You saw it all

It flew out of my box and into your hand

You were man enough

Or so I thought

That was until you realized

That these feelings inside of me were true

Ready for you to shift through

But instead you ran

Run Faster Please!

Leave me here to pick up the debris

I pick up every piece so gingerly

And wipe off your fingerprints

And erase your scent

I pack it all up, but this time

There will be no surprise

I close my heart shut and stitch it back up

This time

I put the box within a bigger box, stitched with the toughest wool.

And I put it in the freezer to let it cool.

So the next “man” that thinks he’s big and tough

Will be surprised to see that my heart has been frozen shut

ahhhhh this makes me feel sad :(

I've spent soooo long feeling this way ... but the writer must heal their own box...
it's not for someone else to take on , we need to find inner courage to meet the beast within .. find kindness for ourselves ... recognize that ... we are equal to all beings..
I can so connect with the writer's heart... and feeling's turned inward ... brilliant expression :)
