Protecting Yourself

What is in that pretty little brain of yours?
You should know that those doors
Have already been open. They cannot
Understand what goes on and clot
That forms in your head or your heart.
You keep promising yourself a new start,
Away from the people you know and all
Of the places you have been to. That wall
You keep trying to hit so hard, let it go
And let it crumble. It was all just for show
And a way to protect yourself from harm.
You just want someone to keep you warm
And someone to share your passions with.
You want someone to prove love is no myth,
But you also want something that is real.
You want something to be held and to feel
It all over you. Love – something to hang onto
And hold tight because sometimes you
Do not want to go through any of it ever
Again. As humans, it is our endeavor.
