Long ago I believed nothing entered here Built these walls stone by stone called the weakness strength But I know I can bend I can break beneath the weight I can bruise I can bleed I can open when you press Penetrable I am not above it all Penetrable I can feel the smallest fall Come inside through the cracks through the places I concealed Every scar every seam every wound that never healed I was sure I was steel I was certain I could stand Then a touch then a word then the trembling of a hand Penetrable I am open to the blow Penetrable there are places you can go I can fall I can fail I can fracture under strain I can drown I can burn I can recognize the pain No defense no disguise no illusion left to hold Underneath all this armor I was never made of gold Penetrable every boundary can give Penetrable being wounded means I live Push against what remains feel the structure moving in Every force leaves a mark every ending enters skin I am flesh I am bone I am temporary form I can shake I can tear I can disappear in storms Penetrable I can finally admit Penetrable I was never over it Let it through let it hurt let it find what I protect Let it change what I was leave me altered by effect No more walls no more claims no more standing without fear I am here I am open and the world can enter here Penetrable I can shatter, I can mend Penetrable I can open at the end Penetrable nothing promised I would last Penetrable every future enters past Penetrable I am fragile, I am real Penetrable I am finally here to feel.
