I wrote this poem today at 1:21 am. It’s about a situation that happened just before.
In all those years,
I’ve built up a defensive wall.
It’s made of a thick layer of glass,
a thick massive wall of concrete,
and a thicker immense wall of marble,
with in the core the vulnerable and breakable me.
My defensive wall is that thick and strong that nobody ever came behind the wall of concrete.
My wall of marble stayed all that time unharmed and without a scratch.
But now that’s the past,
because you came into my life.
You took your gigantic wrecking ball to break my defensive wall,
and you did.
Only the marble was too strong to be demolished.
But you did scratched the marble.
You hurted a piece of me where nobody had ever been.
You got into one of my most vulnerable parts.
You made me realize that my defensive wall wasn’t that strong as I thought.
It broke me,
just like you broke my defensive wall.
It took me down,
like I was nothing.
But most of all,
I realized that nobody ever saw the real me.
I also never did,
I never knew what was the real me,
but you showed me a part of my real me.
You broke down that defensive wall,
and you showed me what was behind that marble.
Behind that marble was my real me,
but it was also so vulnerable and breakable,
that I knew I should cherish it.
I knew it would take a long time,
before I had uncovered the real me.
But you made me realize that I had to find out who I really am.
That I have to find my real me.

That’s very well written and thoughtful. You could have a future as a writer.
Thanks, juliemcc. It’s full of my own emotions, so that probably the reason that it’s so thoughtfull. Sometimes it’s difficult for me, because it’s hard for me to put down my feelings in words, and English is not my main language (I life in The Netherlands;) ), but mostly I find the right words 🙂
