glass armor

crystallized 

my heart radiates beneath

through every prism

i shine

from my knees i have risen

could this be freedom

or the cold stone of a prison?

honest

without a promise

lie the accused

naked

& abused

i lie there,  

trembling in a courtyard of stone

reconciling the past

only to walk alone

crystallized 

as the storm draws near

i've realized 

the fire i've held 

beneath me

is the strength i need 

to break free

i stand broad

my soul embracing the rain

as it cleanses me of this fraud

i wake 

with light in my eyes 

in this new skin 

laying pure

ready to begin
