I Built These Walls

Alone and safe,

I built these walls.

Anger, fear, doubt - forbidden.

I rest in peace,

Isolated.

In the soothing loneliness,

I weep.

In my moment of weakness,

I fail me.

Among the crumbled ruins,

Once my wall,

I AM NAKED.

You appear like a warm blanket,

A support for my shivering, feeble frame.

You are my shelter.

Enter - fear, doubt, anger.

In your moment of weakness,

You fail me.

Again I AM NAKED.

Alone.

To build again.
