They betray you

Folder: 
Lord Owens

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!
