Walls
date unknown. when this was originally written, it did not have a title. the title was added much later.
Deep within
I hold
A part of me
I let no one see
Protected by layers of pain.
As you creep closer
To the barriers
I so painstakingly erected
I feel the first of that pain.
I recoil, as if my hand touched a flame
Warned of the danger I possess.
I want so desperately
To let someone in
To see the horrors I harbor
To share my agony
End the loneliness
I feel in the core of my being.
But I fear
That as you gaze
Into this little locked room
You will leave
So as to never face the monsters
Ever again.
Leaving the walls around my secrets
higher and thicker
Than before.
