Walls

I put up walls.
I avoid letting anyone near me
or see my emotions.
Because of situations growing up,
I've found it best to keep to myself.
I remain detached from any emotion.
That has been the best way to avoid disappointment;
to avoid hurt.

There has been one flaw in this plan.
If I allow one crack,
the entire wall comes crumbling down
and my emotions take over.
I never know the cause.

It hurts terribly.
And I don't like it.

  1. I'm the same way to a certain extent, but we can't be afraid to let our emotions out. God gave us emotions so we can feel and it's ok to show those feelings.

    From reading your blog, I think we're more alike than we ever thought in high school. maybe that's just us growing up ;)
