    My Personal Protection

    I’ve got this wall of bricks, blocking my view.

    A wall of secrets, none of you have a clue.

    It’s hard to open up when you’ve only been let down

    It’s so hard to smile, when you’re so used to a frown.

    Hurting on the inside but can’t let it show,

    No one gets me, no one understands, no one knows.

    I walk around with a bullet proof vest,

    To protect my heart inside my chest.

    Short and to the point. It is amazing how you captured a time in our lived that we all feel this way. It doesn't last forever. Keep on writing.
