I build walls:
Walls that protect,
Walls that shield,
Walls that say I shall not yield
Or reveal
Who I am or how I feel.
Walls that protect,
Walls that shield,
Walls that say I shall not yield
Or reveal
Who I am or how I feel.
I build walls:
Walls that hide,
Walls that cover what’s inside,
Walls that stare or smile or look away,
Silent lies,
Walls that even block my eyes
From the tears I might have cried.
Walls that hide,
Walls that cover what’s inside,
Walls that stare or smile or look away,
Silent lies,
Walls that even block my eyes
From the tears I might have cried.
I build walls:
Walls that never let me
Walls that never let me
Truly touch
Those I love so very much.
Walls that need to fall!
Walls meant to be
fortresses
Are prisons after all.

The poem is amazing and describes what most of us do in hiding our feelings. Sometimes, we need to cover our feelings because showing them would mean we're weak and we can't be weak. However, at times, it's necessary to share how we feel with others for this helps relieve our stress and get some support from people who care about us.
I like it, the poem is quite simple and expressive. It is the nature of human beings, I believe, to conceal some certain 'secretes'. Even if we have a supportive family or a very close friend, we still have certain area within our deep inside that is inaccessible. Although it might appear as a sign of weakness or it might be a sign of weakness, but at the end it's our human nature.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing like you Diana, I love it so much because we live such cases every moment but in my opinion sharing our feeling with others is important that reduce our stress.
ReplyDeleteThank you Batool. I agree with you and Rola that we need to share our feelings at times but sometimes we can't share them for speaking about an issue will double its pain.
ReplyDeleteit's not hard to build and as teachers we are building the society, we must be careful how we build this generation depending on high goals, and attainable means.
