Suffocating walls
Throughout life, you may find your heart behind impossible walls.
You say to yourself, "it's for my own good"
Is it?
You say this defense will protect you from how you felt all those times,
Suffering and betrayed,
Abandoned and unheard.
Sure, it may work in protecting you from a repeat.
But not in the way you wish
You see; once you take a look at the walls you built from an outside view,
You will see that same heart that you locked away to protect is suffering the same.
You didn't only trap it from the outside world,
But trapped it inside it's own pain.
Forced to relive the same feelings every day,
You must realize the walls are its poison.
There is good in this world.
Good that is deserving of your heart;
Good that will heal and fill the cracks with breathtaking gold.
Live to heal.
Live to love.
Nobody can take away your right on who to share your precious time and being with.
Just because someone took what wasn't theirs, and 'left with it' doesn't mean others will.
Take down these walls, and build a sanctuary for your heart.
Let the ones who matter in; even if it's only yourself.
