Hubris

There is a wall around me.

A shell, a wonderful warm blanket.

A comforter, a quilt.

A shield, a protector.

The 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune',

they hurt me not, they weaken me not.



I do venture out from time to time.

Get tossed and turned. Safe in the knowledge,

My wall is waiting, to be gathered around.

To close me up again, to let me lick my wounds.



To let me gather around me, my fragments.
Stick them together again and make them me.

It waits patiently, to let me live my follies.

And everytime I fall, my pride, dear pride,
props me up again.

hey who is mis pride yaar...jara hume bhi toh milao...

Pride in men is often confused wid dignity n in women wid self-love..
Love thyself..Its an amazing feeling...:))

I have a wall you cannot see,
Because it’s deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide
You can't reach in
and I can't reach out
you wonder what it's all about
the wall I built that you can't see
results from insecurity
each time my tender heart was hurt
the scars within grew worse and worse
so stone by stone
I built a wall
that’s now so thick it will not fall
please understand its not you
continue trying to break through
I want so much to show myself
and love from you will really help
so bit by bit
chip off my wall
till stone by stone, it starts to fall
I know the process will be slow
its never easy to let go
of hurts and failures long ingrained
upon one heart from years of pain
I’m so afraid
to let you in
I know I might get hurt again
I try so hard to break the wall
but I seem to get nowhere at all
for stone upon stone I’ve attack
and left between them not a crack
the only way
to make it fall is in imperfections of the wall
I did my best I could to build
a perfect wall but there are still
a few flaws which are the key
to breaking through the wall of me
please use each flaw
to cause a crack
to knock a stone off the stack
for just as stone by stone was laid
with every hurt and every pain
so stone by stone the wall will break
as love replace each ache

please be the one who cares enough
to find the flaws no matter what.
