The Wall

poem by: Meri Torres
Written on Dec 31, 2013

I've built up a wall of all my thoughts, never revealing who I truly am.  Some days it does not pay to explain or express what I really feel.  I have built this wall to protect me from the world, a world full of negativity that I so desperately need to escape.  The wall can't protect me from everything, especially the thoughts in my head, but it can protect me from the outside of others getting in.
