✦ the wall ✦

𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐖 𝐀 𝐋 𝐋

꧁ ꧂

there was a wall around my heart. it was strong and made from dried tears, it protected me from pain.
it kept me safe from sadness that tried to climb it and the toxic fog that tried to seep in from underneath. it was so strong it even kept happiness out, joy, fear and everything but anger, oh lovely anger, it shot down anyone who tried to break down the wall or open it or reach the top. anger protected the wall, protected what protected me and so i didn't mind that all i could feel was anger for anger was my friend. but like every friendship we had a fight and i wanted him gone, i wanted happiness and joy and emotions and then she came into my life and anger was so mad at me he couldn't shot her down and so she torn down the wall and made her way in and left it open for anyone to hurt and, alas, they did.
i miss my wall. i'm sorry anger, please rebuild.
