ORIGINAL POETRY TIME!!!

Strip me barren of my walls
Show your seeds into my garden
Sing your melody within the halls
And make me believe I’m not a burden

Wear my feelings on my sleeve
so you can watch me crumble
Breathless as you leave
My words escaping jumbled

Return to me calloused
Sharpened by the world
Stressed to nearly breaking
From the curveballs they had hurled

I will wrap you in my nub
I will remind you of your value
Tell you of your greatest strengths
And softly, gently, hold you.
