I place a wall Before myself To keep my feelings inside A steel wall Reinforced Impenetrable A wall of Styrofoam Is my defense against Hurtful comments from others Easily broken through Not hard to climb It can only take so much Before collapsing And I under it My steel wall Backs me up Supports me lest I fall No one knows The true way I feel They are none the wiser To my pain And my sorrow Unless they have the key Of true friendship Few have this key And so I stumble blindly Searching for a stronghold in my life A constant factor Unchanging Something to anchor me down To keep me From being swept away By a current of pain I reach out Looking for a hand to hold A life raft I find nothing And I sink to the bottom Of depression And self-hatred |
