Protection
The wall is up,
I can't tear it down.
Why does it exist?
I don't want to block people out.
Maybe it's purpose is to keep something in.
Perhaps so my heart can't be spilt.
There's definitely risks in that,
so subconsciously this wall was built.
No ones rushing in,
they must have been warned.
From something in its appearance,
an imaginary idea was formed.
But it's painted so many colors,
and has so many holes,
they can look right inside,
and see the mystery unfold.
They're just avoiding all the rest.
The details that complete the mess.
Maybe that's why I keep the doors locked.
So few actually pass the test.
I can't tear it down.

Sometimes what we think is protecting us can be restricting us to be. Feeling this read and welcome to DU.

Subconscious walls are there to protect. Sometimes we do build them without knowing. Enjoyed.
