Walls
Walls are built to protect hearts from getting hurt
Without the constant fear of intrusion,
You can function freely
But take heed,
For if you abandon the sanctuary
You open yourself to the destruction the world holds
Walls are built so secrets may remain concealed
You bury them in the catacombs of your heart,
Along with your deepest regrets
But take heed,
For if you abandon the sanctuary
The mystery you clutch so tight will be painted on a canvas for all the world to see
Walls are built to enforce obedience upon an unruly heart
By restricting what you allow yourself to feel,
You reduce the chance of drowning in a chaotic sea of emotions
But take heed,
For if you abandon the sanctuary
Heartbreak will lurk around every corner
