Burnt out

catlover01

The world has a way of burning out the brightest flames

Stomping us down till we no longer burn,

Making us apologize for being ourselves

Exhausting us with the drag of the everyday

We withdraw back behind the walls we built long ago

But once your flame has been doused it can not be restored to what it once was

No matter how hard you try

    It takes great courage to break those walls down we build for ourselves.Once down if there are further disappointments it is natural to restore them. Taller and stronger next time. I enjoyed your poem.
