My heart’s finally set free from being behind the steel bars, imprisoned for fighting a battle that no longer belongs to her. Leaving her cell, she has nothing to show for her struggle and pain, except for the scars that she will never be able to heal. However, she has neither won nor has she lost this painful battle for the love of whom she thought would always be hers. General and captain of an army of feelings and emotions, my heart led her willing troops through the endless battle for him. Although to everyone he played the damsel in distress, to her, he would always be her knight in shining armor. His armor however, would be the very thing that would close him off from her; the very thing that would keep her from penetrating to the one thing she fought so hard to protect and ensure was hers; the very thing that kept the two of them from reaching their happy ending. Confined from behind those cold, steel bars, she had time to realize that this armor, so invincible, was made up of all she dueled to prove herself; all the girls she tried to show wouldn’t be what he needed, all the obstacles she tried to show she could overcome, all the hate she tried to show she could get through. All she showed was seen, but never put a dent into the armor that turned out to be his heart.
