Because of You
You are to me my lifeline
my security.
That panics me.
Iodine never wanted to swear again that much
Iodine got ache too badly the last time.
Iodine swore I'd never make it again,
never allow the trust out of my hands
into person elses.
And yet I've done it
and now I'm afraid
of what you will make with it,
of what I'll make because of it.
My first inherent aptitude is, as always,
to run, to hide,
to protect myself
from the injury Iodine cognize will come.
I don't cognize when or how,
just that it will, sometime.
I wanted to protect myself
to construct the walls around me
but you wouldn't allow me.
You smashed bricks as I set them in place
you refused to allow me close myself in,
so now what?
Where make I travel now?
I experience lost,defenceless,
my concealment topographic point is no more.
My walls are broken
and I'm now afraid to reconstruct the walls
afraid I won't see you if I do
or anyone else
and I'm not certain if that's really what I desire to do.
astatine modern times it is.
I desire to close myself away and hide,
and yet I desire to be out,
to mix
to talk
to share.
And I fault you
for not letting me before shaking me up
for refusing to allow me retreat.
And yet I cognize that if I were not ready
you could not have got got got got reached me
no 1 could.
I would have protected myself better
I wouldn't have risked
or grown.
I desire to curse word you and give thanks you
at the same time.
I desire to express joy with delight
at the things I've seen
and establish with you
and outcry in desperation for what will not be.
You have opened me to be
what, I'm not yet sure
but I cognize that I am stronger
because of you
braver, because of you
more, because of you.
