The Wall
Most people tell me I’ve put up a wall and that I don’t let many in, very few at all.
I’m not sure when it started or how it got there…all I know is, it blocks my ability to really care.
It must have starte one brick at a time, then slowly consumed this heart of mine.
So that is how I plan to tear it down. One brick at a time.
I finally let the right one in and I will let let it be built again.
About this poem
This poem is about putting up boundaries and not letting people in so you don’t get hurt…again.
