A Sonnet poem

EW

A heart is strained and in disarray

Confused and crushed, oh what a waste

Hurt and tattered and thrown away

It bleeds out as it twitches from distaste

Raw and distressed it shuffles in unrest

A barrier is quickly made with varied integrity

Putting loud music to the ultimate test

It's efforts there to shield its vulnerability

But, wait, is that a hint of acceptance?

A handful of pain now riped out like thick foliage

A rare sight when met with distance

But a joyed response when met with damage

A heart  has healed

But no longer yields, it keeps up its shield
