Guarded

 

Guarded

 

I should lay it down

This armor that guards my heart

I should let it go

This bitterness that inhabits my soul

Without laying it down, I can never be free

Without letting it go, I can never be me

Yet, I hold it with all of my might

I keep it some where out of sight

I feel it struggling to be free

I feel myself trying to show the real me
