Where would I be without this wall
Exposed and defenseless at the mercy of all
Introverts don’t cope well
Can’t regenerate, unwind, or even mope well
without permanent partitions
facilitated by bricks-and-mortar prime real estate
provision of options
division of space
maintenance of sanity via bland canvas of grace
Depletion equals danger
Exposed nerves make a stranger
of the person you thought you knew
who’d have fought you too
from delirium-based interactions
with insufficient spacers
exponential liquor shots
without coefficient chasers
A mass conglomerate of all you have shared
both sorrows and joys without fail we have cared
whilst internal process silent we have spared
you them others
beneath him
those
above hers
since superseding self
became an art
the thing we learned
without being taught
misunderstood souls in freefall
without being caught
so how would we fare
and fragility forestall
and Holy Mother of Goddess
where would we be...
without this wall
