Welcome You to Me (Repost Resolution)

Hiding from the storm
Crashing deep inside
I built up my walls
To hold myself together
As my emotions whirled
Crashing and splintering
I hid not wanting to chance
Another crack
I ran away for two years
Regressed into shadows, watching
As the world turned without me
When the storm settled, I cleared
Away the debris of my feelings
And I realized
I wanted to stand in sunlight again
I wanted the echoes of laughter
I wanted to let people in
So with shaking hands, I opened the door
And whispered hello
