    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.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
