This Shield We Built… Became the Prison We Live In
When we were young, we created a shield.
A defense.
A way to keep the monsters out — whether they were hiding under the bed, lurking in the closet, or standing right in front of us in the form of hurtful words, violence, rejection, or neglect.
That shield worked for a while.
It kept us alive.
It gave us the illusion of safety.
But here’s the truth…
The very shield that once protected us eventually hardens into a prison.
A dark wall built out of fear, abandonment, shame, and pain.
It surrounds us — and it keeps us locked in.
I know this firsthand.
As a child, I faced beatings, chaos, bullying, threats, and abandonment. I built my “shield of disparity” to keep the world out. But over time, it became the fog I was lost in… the swamp of sadness I could not see through.
And here’s the most heartbreaking part:
This prison doesn’t just trap us in fear — it traps us in addiction.
We turn to addictive patterns for comfort, love, or escape, only to find ourselves spiraling right back into the walls we built ourselves.
Your shield was never meant to be your forever home.
It’s time to step out of it.
Breathe fresh air.
And live free in your power.
✨ You are more than the pain you’ve survived.
✨ You are here to live beyond the shield.
