metallic shield
much like the one on her heart
protection from the
years of jagged words that
silenced her beauty
unspoken truth became
scrambled letters
leaving her frozen
in unheard cries of
childhood memories

As a little girl growing up
living in a house of darkness
I developed this mechanical gadget
that helped me survive the atrocities
the only way a child could all on her own
As I grew into a young adult
this darkness would continue to rule
over my life attracting the darkness repeatedly
until this mechanical gadget could no
longer help me survive and finally broke…
Yet, this was the most beautiful day of my life
for I called out to no one but the One who would
pick up all the broken pieces of my mechanical gadget
and through His tender velvet touches of Grace
turned my mechanical gadget into a heart of love.
