My Wall
By Deathkitten
They say it can make you happy
Maybe a little sappy
It can make you sad
That's the thing about life & love
There's good & there's bad
Take one with the other & hope you rise above
A sacrifice, you see?
Seems a bit mad to me
Complete vulnerability
I've built a wall around me
It's miles high, scarred, chipped
and full of graffiti
They try to climb it or break through
Never knowing exactly what to do
They slide back down
with tears & a frown
while clawing & clinging on
They figure something's wrong
No one's ever been so right
It's hard to grip onto me tight
What they want has been gone
Over my wall
No one will belong
There is no green grass
no rainbow, no song
I once was vulnerable
but what I had inside me
is dead, buried & gone
My wall will not fall
It will never crumble
You can plead as you will
but beware of your tumble

so your saying that if i try to get inside im going to take a tumble. see most people try to climb the walls only to take a tumble. im smarter than that. i come with a bricksaw cause i just want to peak inside and poke a big enough hole to let some sunshine in. a hole just big enough for my face to fit in so i can peek in and say "hey...jess. what are ya doin" lol...quite the visuals. awesome!

...the graffiti is a nice touch, possibly love-notes. your wall prevents you from being touched by heartbreak maybe...or maybe happiness...

From happiness mostly, and the graffiti was for words said, that I just can't/won't take in.

My walls are fortified, with an iron will. A lot of men are allergic to iron. lol My husband is one of the lucky ones that made it to the top. I am not sure though I think he is afraid of heights. :) lovely words and poeticly phrased

Thank you. Men don't normally try to climb mine, once in awhile they'll stare at it in curiosity, but the women that attempt, they just can't get through. There's only been one...when all I had up was a fence hah.....that one, is the reason for the wall. Some people are scared of heights. Mine are scared of failure & rejection.

Seems almost impossible. I wish it wasn't this way, but it's hard for me to let anyone in. I guess bc I feel it would never be the same as what I had & nothing else would ever suffice. I don't want to fake it anymore.
