The Pillar (A Sonnet) | Armor of The World
People come, spend some time with me,
Then they leave and go their own way.
Some leave bidding a sweet goodbye,
Then there’re times I get trashed away.
To the world I am but a pillar,
I’ve accepted that role in society.
But secretly the heart wreaks havoc,
Not being able to hold on to somebody.
There is no cure for my condition,
It’s the price a reformer has to pay.
No world is lifted without sacrifice,
That’s how the being becomes a gateway.
Be a shelter to others in their times of agony.
Once you’ve fulfilled your role in their life,
Do not be a hindrance to their joy and liberty.
Then they leave and go their own way.
