Both Sides Of The Wall

Some people hide their self behind
And some stand in front, still hid
Some push their loved ones away
And most don’t know why they did.

Some turn the trust of others
Into something they don’t feel
They can’t see the blatant truth
Or believe what they know, is real.

On one side, the straight and narrow
And one of the other, parallel
Could be the path to happiness
Or down that rocky road to Hell.

Some see the errors of their ways
But some, blinders hide the view
The ones who try to lead the way
Know not, always, what they do.

To reach out for a helping hand
Is sometimes, the way to go
Someone else might show that way
Where, some don’t know where to go.

But a wall built up in front of them
Or up around them, or, behind
Can shield them from the very things
They seek for their heart and mind.

Thought provoking observations.  Enjoyed.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
