The Walls

People tell me I won't make it.

People say I'm nothing.

I built up walls to block them out

to block everything out.

 

I got lonely so I let you in 

but you stabbed me in the back .

I built even more walls

walls of fear, fear of being persecuted

 

 

After a while I relized I wouldn't ever be happy

with these walls up.

So I tore them down

I let people in.

I saw a light

it was a bright light. It was the light of joy and peace.

Now I am happy.

Now I'm FREE!

This is about an old friend of mine that I finally relized she was so shy and so secretive.
