There's a Wall

There's this wall,

around my heart.

It protects me

from everything.

It makes me cold

on the outside.

But it's worth it,

since I won't get hurt.

It has some cracks,

and some bricks are missing,

But it protects me,

and I repair the holes and cracks.

People try to reach for me,

but I just cower away.

People hurt each other,

and I don't want to be hurt.

I cry every night,

beacause of the past pain.

I cry all day,

beacause of the past pain.

But, the wall protects

me from anyone seeing me.

I catch my tears,

and they help me build.

I cut my skin,

and let the blood seal the cracks.

I kind of wish,

I had built a door.

But it's to late now,

and I'm locked inside.

Maybe, if I stop bulding,

Maybe if I stop sealing the cracks,

I'll get out when someone

decides to knock the wall down.

But, right now,

it seems impossible.

No one is helping me,

will they ever?
