I've been pushed and grown
Through the fear of the unknown
To be kicked and shamed,
But I am the one to blame.
Soundly hit with reality
Cloudy is my destiny
Madly rushed to the floor
No one here to hold me near
Battered bruised utterly confused
Inspires my poetic muse
This ease me and comfort
protective walls are restored
Your insecurities you ask
Safe and hidden behind a mask
I would like to thank Joe Hartil for the submission of his poem "Flashback" It reminded me of this poem I wrote a year ago
