Walls I place around me
Are not so I can hide
They are there as self protection
From the feelings deep inside
The things I can’t forget
The horrors in my mind
When I feel overwhelmed
They keep me safe inside
Physical scars can heal
Mental ones do not
My walls give me an option
To heal when things get hot
I’ve let them down before
To let some people in
But when it starts to hurt too much
I bring them up again
I pretend that I don’t need them
But I know I always will
They’ve always been here in the past
I know they are here still
Please don’t think they mean weakness
For within them my strength I gain
Until the day I am healed
And can bring them down again
Love, Gail
