Closer To The End

First one I've thrown on here in a long time. Hope everyone likes it.

Silence is my shield,
My shield from a world that has left me a fragile mess.

Violence is my shelter,
My shelter from a heart that has given less.

Left to rot amongst these flowers,
Born to fall just like this rain,
Left to burn with these days,
Born to feel only pain.

Suffocating and I relate...
Potent piece that renders the reader as shattered as the imagery :)

Aw this is an emotional poem and bittersweet. I like the end, born to feel pain. Great job and keep writing. :) 100/100
