I chose to walk away
At the end of the day
Tucking my shattered heart
Away once again
Hiding the shards that refracted the light
That refused to warm
My once calm and mellow soul
Hoping for better
Has done much worse
Instead of guarding my own heart
I left it open from the start
Because at first
I was positive I was good
Open to take those in
Who were treated like me
When I was a kid
If I just showed love
And acceptance too
Maybe one day
Somewhere
I’d be accepted, too
Time only told a separate
More sad tale than mine
Causing calluses
To form on soft parts
Of my soul
Now withered and corroded
With harmful observances
Of malicious intent
Words piercing my hardened heart
and war-weary soul
And on that last lonely note
No matter what I did
No matter what I do
I’ll never be strong enough
To get past you
And who
You thought
I was
At the end
Of
The
Day
