I Am Ready
Trust is like a flower;
Every time you break it
You rip off a petal and stamp it into the concrete
Trust is like a butterfly;
Every time you betray it
You break a wing and render it flightless
Trust is like a brick wall;
Every time you crush it
You chip away at the cement
You knock out the cornerstone
I still have petals
I still have wings
I still have mortar
I still have bricks
And here I stand
Albeit unsteady
But I am ready
Yes, I am ready.
