Walls

Over time I built

So many walls around myself

And here inside the fortress

All my deepest feelings froze

With critical thoughts

That fought the demons

Long past

Projected shadows on the wall

Night fall

Bought terror

There I was behind glass

Drowning

And all I saw

Were your faces judging me

Frowning at the truth

Which made the shame inside

Grow in power

And yet I did not

Even know its name

Busy mind creating

All of this

No time to rest

And drop the shades

Aching soul

Desperate for a love

I could not feel

My heart grew cold

With things so unreal

Possessing me

But now that I have seen the truth

There is a way of life that heals my aching heart

It lays in the realisation of

A bridge that I can drop to let you in

For there are parts of me you need to see

That I may hide

And there are parts of me I must bring alive

And set free from their imprisonment

Behind all of these

Walls
