Heart of Steel

">

Abstract work drawn by Katrina Smith ©May17,2018 I never through in my lifetime, that my heart would spill all over the floor. And that you would be the culprit, with the jab of your tongue, cutting my heart wide open. The devil shall catch his own fire, when his luck runs out. I will only speak the truth...it shall set me free. I am like those monkey's, I speak no evil, hear no evil. But, I sure see evil. You may think, you have broken me in.Like, a pair of converse sneakers. My heart is still beaten and, will not end on your watch. You can throw as many jabs as you please, these eyes may show tears. But, I will not give in, nor give up until god says when. You are my ring of frustration that, I try to break free from. But, you don't seem to catch on yet...you got your tail stuck in some cement, and all you can do, is yep and yap. But, I am not through with you yet. And when my tongue has reached for the glory, and you become fire thats, when I am through. And I can finally say: I see no evil.

Pride

Some storms come in quite, and some come in deep. I will never understand your hearts intentions, or what my life is set out to become...of you not letting me free. I'm done seeing the horns of the devil, and hearing the words that don't even relate to me. My heart has gone through...many storms with you. If I tried to speak to heal this hole, you will only dig in deeper, making this soul tender. I will wipe out all these labels. Like, Jackie Joyner Kersey... I have been trying my hardest to win, where I need to be. And you keep trying to break me, into believing otherwise. I will continue to plant many seeds, in my path, knowing that someday, I shall reach them without a hassel. And not feel like, I have been pulled straight from the ground...a weed. I can sense that my future is not that far, and I know you can too. So, why are you trying to hold onto me... placing labels were they don't need to be. Poetry Corner: The meaning behind this poem is: don't let anyone put labels on you, Let those labels fly above you, and keep on moving forward.
