Life Beat Me
by g s r
I built an immense wall,
Between the world and my feelings.
I placed a fortress, around me
as high as the sky, And I raised,
huge walls of pride, Vanity, and resentment.
There were many who attempted
To bring down the walls of my fortress.
Life beat me, there was one who penetrated
and broke down the battlements, walls,
and crossed over my fortress.
Life beat me, He could see,
The nakedness of my soul and body.
My soul was flooded with feelings.
I opened my heart, I gave him my soul,
Life, heart, and also my body.
