Walled in, Left out – a Poem


There is a cost to every decision we make – there is gain, but also loss. How we find balance depends on factors that are different for all of us…


Cold
Aloof
Hiding
this Beleaguered heart
behind
Bitter walls
of Hostile Disdain

Safe
Heartbreak-free
Alone
Lonely
Floundering in
Deep oceans
of the Darkest Despair


Did I save my barely beating heart only to lose my soul?
