Tower of Blocks

I wrote this the other night. I think it describes well what I am going through.

Tower of Blocks

I am a tower of blocks

Standing strong and tall
For all the world to see

Or at least I once was

I am a tower of blocks
Steady and firm

A support to all around

But not anymore

I am a tower of blocks

Fallen and scared

Scattered across the ground

No longer tall and strong

I am a tower of blocks
Tentative and new

Slowly, block by block

Building toward the sky

I am a tower of blocks
Weak where I once was strong
A glimmer of hope for the future
Fighting against the fear of the past

I am a tower of blocks

Now looking for support

Searching within myself

For strength I cannot find

I am a tower of blocks

Shaky, but a tower still

Building slowly, but ever up

Striving to be grand again

I am a tower of blocks

Blown down by a cruel wind

Fallen and scattered once more

Ever weary of the blowing storm

I am a tower of blocks

Looking again for strength

Searching all around

Learning to trust in something more

I am a tower of blocks

Timid and small

Grasping for hope and courage

Building upon others support

I am tower of blocks

No longer tall and strong

But beautiful and true

In my own special way

I am a tower of blocks

Longing for what once was

But learning to accept change

Learning to see the truth

I am a tower of blocks

Strong in a new way

Strong in a way many don't understand

Strong because of my understanding

I am a tower of blocks

Ever smaller than before

But grounded in what matters

Grounded in the truth

I am a tower of blocks

A tower that will often fall

But one that will always rebuild

And be stronger for it

I am a tower of blocks

From which I can see new sights

Sights once overlooked

From way up where I used to be

I am a tower of blocks

Shabby and dull to some

But strong and sure inside

Because of my many falls

I am a tower of blocks

Sometimes scared for what will come

Often afraid of the next big wind

But still lined with hope for the next ray of light

I am a tower of blocks

Standing strong and small

But better for all I've weathered

For all the world to see
