Oh Shambling Great Walls Full Of Woe

A patriotic poem written on Thanksgiving, 2025.

Heart that refuses to break

Broken glass inside my heart

Won’t cut like it used to

Cracks run through it

It is a heart that is covered in scars

Yet nothing can make it break or shatter

No matter how much pain and damage

It has endured

It still beats

After everything it will still beat

And not giving up

It turns all the pain and hurt

Into a strength

That can’t be taken away

No matter how much you did try to

It didn’t let you break it

You kept making me feel so unwanted

So unworthy of love

Tried to dim my shine

Whatever to make me feel less

So you could feel yourself being better than me

But you clearly did think

That I was stuck inside your trap

That I could never leave

But I walked out your life

Even through the fire

Like I was unstoppable

Phoenix rising from the flames

That in the end I was diamond

And each cut just made it more beautiful

The heart that refuses to break

Never waiting for you

I just can’t stop laughing

You really did think

That I was waiting for you

I know I shouldn’t laugh

But did you seriously think

I would be still waiting on you?

Don’t you hear how ridiculous that is?

That after everything I would wait for you?

 You know what you did

And now you think

You can come back like nothing happened?

And everything will be like it used to be

I’m sorry but I have news for you

It won’t

I was never waiting for you

I will never wait for you

Seriously never

I moved on

And you have been dead to me

All this time

So go haunt someone else

Here is nothing for you

There is no place in my life

That you could get back

Did think that I would put a stop on my life?

And wait for you?

Never

My life went on

Now there is nothing where I used to be

Because I did find life somewhere else

You did wake up too late 

I’m already gone

And never coming back to you

So don’t cry for me

Because I have found my happiness without you

Not waiting for you was the best decision

Keeper of secrets

No I don’t have skeletons on my closet

Sometimes it’s hard to remember

Do I even have any secrets of my own anymore?

Because I have cemetery full of other people’s secrets

Locked away from prying eyes

It’s not a small cemetery

Only I know what is buried there

 And by who

But no one else has the access

To any of it

Some secrets are small and innocent

Even really sweet

Does someone really like someone specific?

What secret feelings they might be hiding

Especially from everybody else around them

But not from me

Knowing fully well

I’ll keep it all as a secret

It is safely buried

Where no prying eyes can ever get to

Where gossiping gravediggers won’t ever find it either

Because there is only one who can walk there

 And know what was buried where

The tombstones have no names

Hiding even more what lies beneath

To hide especially those darker secrets

That is buried so deep

The ones even I didn’t ever want to know

Yet I’m stuck with keeping them

Wanted or not

I’m the keeper of secrets

Good or bad

This is just a part of my destiny

Keep them safe and hidden from the world

In this invisible cemetery of secrets

Where is always a night

That is never ending just like the shadows

Between the trees and endless rows of gravestones

Cemetery of secrets doesn’t ever have blue skies and sunshine

It is a beautiful dark paradise under a full moon

That only keeper of the secrets can find it
