My Heart is a Fortress

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I’m so tired of the pain;

my heart can’t take any more.

 

Every time I meet someone

I think I can trust,

they severely disappoint me.

 

I open myself up

only to be slammed shut

by their abandonment.

 

Little by little,

my heart becomes harder,

armed against those

who try to get close.

 

I can’t even bear the thought

of letting someone else

hurt me again.

It is a difficult fact of life to accept that things always change and although we may trust, our trust is broken even by people who we are extremely important to, due to life changes and personal feelings or changes during the growth of others and the growth of ourselves. The lies of conditioned thought tell us life is stable, and life is ever changing. In fact, the only constant in life is change. Living in the now without expectation of even that tomorrow will come at all places us in true freedom, and allows us to face life on life's terms, and not lies that were told to us as children. Blessings. Hope you wrote this ages ago!:-)))
