Stronger than ever thought possible,

No longer able to withstand,

Broken down the convincing fascade,

Unfortunately, the truth’s been exposed,

Flood gates swing wide open,

Heart shattering and unrecognizably broken.

Nowhere to find safe shelter,

Nothing to hold the tears.

Vulnerable, exhausted, fatigued,

Unsettled, and Misunderstood.
