Standing In Silence...

Stone.
Concrete.
Ice and Brick.
I've used them all.
Yet someone always seemed
to slip through and
attack me from the inside.
How they managed that,
I don't know.
I always think
"This time, no one is breaking them down."
But I'm always wrong.
'Cuz somehow I always
end up with a pile of remains.
Leaving me feeling weak and
vunerable without them.
That's how I live.
Smiling on the outside,
while I'm crumbling on the inside.
Make everyone believe I'm okay,
so they don't ask questions.
It gives me time to build my walls,
stronger and higher than before.
And this time,
NO ONE is getting in.
There's just one downfall...
I can't get out.
Trapped inside myself.


If You Wanna See A Rainbow, You've Gotta Live Through The Rain. And If You Wanna See Through Love, You've Gotta Live Through The Pain.
