Walls
Are meant to protect
Meant to keep one safe
To stop one from bleeding out

Why am I still bleeding?
Why don't I feel protected?
Why can't I hear anything anymore?

The walls
Have grown so thick
I hear nothing anymore
Nothing but the insults and pain
Bouncing around in my skull
So much
I can't hear anything else

My walls
Are changing
Are shifting
I put them up
I tore them down

My feet move
But I go nowhere
My heart beats
But I am not alive
My hands toil
But I feel nothing
My soul cries
But I am not saved

My walls
Without them
I'm broken
With them

I am destroyed.
