Inner Walls

January 30, 2018

Walls,

I've built so many.

Around my mind,

My own city.

None can hurt me,

Inside my walls.

None can reach me,

Nor make me fall.

The pain I keep,

Locked away.

None to see,

Nor to display.

The pain is large,

It's getting heavy.

The tears are forming,

But I'm not ready.

~Megan Stoffel
