Walls

I've read too many books
Experienced what the characters faced in their own perspective,
And one thing one thing that is always being highlighted by the authors;
Is the walls and barriers,
Built up against expectations,
So high those walls,
So afraid of breaking...

Unfeeling,
Ignoring everything,
Trying so hard not to become attached,
Never opening up to people,
Not trusting others,
So, so, so, damn scared to let people in...

And throughout the years
I've learned to shut myself out from them,
These walls surrounding me,
And I will hold still
Until one day someone is keen enough to break them
And perhaps someone worth staying.
