I am lost in a maze that I built myself. I put up each wall to remind myself to not go down that path again. To block the feelings, the people, the thoughts, the actions that took a piece of me. Each time I felt weaker, but promised myself these walls would help me stay whole. I built a barrier between me and whatever was taking control of me. I realized what was happening again, I built another wall. But now I'm at a dead end. trapped by the walls I thought would protect me. I have no where to go, and only I hold a map to this maze. I only know how to build, not to take down. I don't want to know what's behind the walls, but I can't stay trapped forever. the first hit will be the hardest, but maybe ill find the pieces I've lost on the way back to the start.
