Breaking
Shattering
Pieces of dust
Swirling in the wind
Tearing flesh from bone
Seeking to destroy
What is with in
I will not let them win
I will fortify my walls
Make brick from the dust
Build it high
And strong
No one will hurt me
Cut me into pieces
Make me into
What I am not
What I will never be
Again
I am strong
I am invincible
I am
Me
