I build walls

I build walls:


walls that protect,

walls that shield,

walls that say: I shall not yield

Or reveal

Who I am or how I feel.


I build walls:

Walls that hide,

walls that cover what´s inside

walls that stare or smile or look away,

Silent lies,

walls that even block my eyes

From the tears I might have cried.


I build walls:

walls that never let me

Truly touch

Those I love so very much.

Walls that need so fall!

Walls meant to be fortresses

Are prisons after all.
