* "It's ok to cry just don't let them see." Words my mother taught me. She never told me who "them" was supposed to be. So I assumed them was the world and built up walls. Not to push people away, just to protect myself- from unspecified dangers and risks. Like heartbreak, and heartache and being breakable. But brick by brick you're crumbling those walls. Without even trying, there's no force at all. And I feel like Jericho, where suddenly I'll be open... And what if I get burned too?
