Never claimed I wasn't damaged goods

The most damaged people are oft the most guarded; I oft see walls, and keep moving forward !

Peace be unto you... 🌹

Good luck and thanks for the read and comment

I find walls limiting to the self growth, however needed, to not be robbed of the essence of who I am. Walls have kept me alive, on guard, tempered and I've been able to safely heal inside.  

When I see walls on others, it triggers me to break through, to climb over, dive in and drown.  
It takes time and authenticity. It takes connection and chemistry.  
I don't want to put that in for just anyone. All princes and princesses locked up in their castles are lost, but not all want to be found.  

I do it for the ones who silently build this perfect masonry, because they have a genuine thing to salvage. Something worth the fight. Something worth the time. And they're willing to be picked apart.  

I think when I notice someone wanting to pick apart what I've carefully created, I expect them to do it lovingly, not desperately. I expect them to do it patiently with some vibrating intensity. I expect them to realize it's built for a reason, and can only be taken down by trust.  
And trust doesn't come easy.

If anyone tells me that they know who I am, they already failed. Even the people who actually do know me best would never say that.  

I like the ones who say "I don't know you, but I'd like to. I realize what it will take, and I'm ready to give it. "
Simple, and important.

Your walls are visible to me, Carpe. And I don't believe you have them because you're hiding, but because you crave something in return.
That, to me, is integrity.

Inlak'esh beautiful one thank you for the depth and insight to see through those walls and beyond the towers, that we create to... What end I guess is up to each individual that builds such structures. It has been quite the journey, here's to the destination. Thank you so much for the read and comment

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for participating in my competition. The people who can put up with one's shit and genuinely want to know the inner-self are the only people worth caring for.

Nice write.

True that thank you for the read and comment
