Known.


As terrifying as it is

Let down your walls for another person

There is beauty in being known.

It’s as if you’re not completely alone anymore

It’s as if your walls are cracking

But these cracks let a little bit of light in

It’s as if the more you share

The faster the walls begin to crumble

And suddenly

You become a lot less

Lonely.
