My eyes have a shield
A brick wall with a locked gate
My emotions cower behind the wall
Hoping nobody can see them
I am happy hyper Holli
I am never depressed, never sad
That’s what everyone expects
So I build the wall higher to
satisfy their false image of me
Brick by brick
I make it more difficult to see over
Harder to break down with tears
Only when alone do I open the gate
He looks at me and sees what others don’t
He tells me my eyes betray me
That is impossible, I have a wall
It doesn’t make sense. I’m confused
Does he have a key?
Very good. When I heard about it I thought it would have been different, but now that I read it it surprised me. I like it. I'll look for that key though and if I find it, I'll give it to you. OK?
*swearing silently* Now that I've critiqued one, you'll have me critique them ALL!
