Closing the door I drop my keys and jacket.
Another day in a life of criticism
Why do they all have to say things
Can’t they just leave me alone?
Stepping into the shower I ignore the sting
Hot water scolding away the days comments
Repetition through my mind
Their disapproval of me digging deep
Drying off I look in the mirror
What is so wrong with me
I’m either someone to help others feel better
Or a tool to be used and thrown away
Clenching my teeth I glare at myself
Everything I have been through
The good and the oh so terribly bad
Has made me into who and what I am today
I am strong and proud
I will not let them beat me down
I am all that stands between them and true pain
I am the guardian
Pulling on my black turtle neck
I ready for the night
Lacing my boots
I tighten my resolve
Taken a deep breath I call forth my other side
I call forth Her
The strong one who has the confidence and strength
I call forth Claudia
Leaning into the turns I ride my motorcycle
Climbing up the mountain I enjoy the sting of the wind
Invigorated my the night I speed around a tight turn
Climbing to my watch
Taking off my helmet I step over to the edge
Looking down the cliff onto my city
I crouch down and watch
The comings and goings
During the day they shun me. During the night I protect them
I am strong and proud. Try to hurt me….
