Unbreakable

Probably one of my favourite poems I've ever written...

These words they will not break me

My wounds in time will heal

This pain will go on to make me

These feelings I will learn to feel

In my mind I am unbreakable

Wrapped in chains of steel and woe

My inner solitude unmistakeable

I will live on to see tomorrow

Please do not mistake me

I am not asking for sympathy

Do not seek to penetrate me

I work alone on this mystery

I hope one day I will come off this rock

See life in colour again

That someone will find the key to this lock

So I can be normal, a lover, a friend

For even though you cannot break me

I am learning to be moulded

To allow others to try and fix me

This load alone need not be shouldered

Love others and be loved myself

Share my pain with someone else

Try to grow in my spiritual wealth

Allow this ice around my heart to melt
