The actual thought of rejection frightens me

I’m scared that if I let my walls come down…

-melt the ice, the shackles and fences that … you’ll crush me… wound my heart all sore in blatant defeat

-make my walls weaker

-ice too watered down to freeze back up

-shackles all broken and unable to buckle up, and…

-fences all too feeble to mend

The walls that I built… hand made physically and mentally… is what’s protected me from all past hurt

The stability that I created to avoid all the messiness of emotional instability

I strive to earn the crown of being the ice queen, but the tears still pour out

It’s not easy to construct these walls… even harder to shred

It takes a strong person willing and patient to push through them with care
