Allowance

 The walls are high

As I stand in the middle

Of the fortress

I look around

Breathe in the air

 

I look at the gate

Wondering if I should run

I see you there

Waiting patiently

Loving me

Looking at me

 

My knees begin to shake

I fall to the ground

With my head buried

In my hands

 

You walk slowly

And kneel down

Lift up my chin

Looking at me

Not saying a word

 

My tears stream down

As your arms wrapped

Around me tight

Not saying a word

 

I hear footsteps

I let go for just a moment

Looking

Realizing

How much I have let in

 

You have touched me

They have touched me

Touched my heart

Touched my life

 

I fall back into your arms

As I am trying so hard

To let you in

To let them in

To allow the love

To allow the hurt

To leave me

 

I feel them come closer

Like a wall of protection

Even though I feel open

Your arms just get tighter

Reminding me it’s ok

 

Reminding me

No one is going to hurt me

You are not going to allow it

Reminding me I am loved

Cared for

I am not hated

I matter

 

Allowing you in

Means I need to trust

And remember

How much I mean to you

Can You Hear Me

  The tall dark shadows loom above Looking up to find that peace Lost in the world Standing alone Calling out “can anyone hear me” No reply ...
