You see right through me Yet you refuse to see me You look right at me But you do not understand me You go around me, you go through me But you do not examine me I am just in your way I am just a barrier You do not see what I am because you insist on seeing what I am not You avoid me at all costs because its an inconvenience to you I am in your own head your own heart even Yet you refuse to accept me you go further further than wood and nails you reach for the brick and mortar you build me stronger without even acknowledging me you dance around the surface of my being you cover me up you break me down throw me out But you rebuild me again different materials same understanding same meaning same hidden emotions and thoughts this time you cannot see through me but you still do not see me

Fences
You see right through me Yet you refuse to see me You look right at me But you do not understand me You go around me, you go through me But you do not examine me I am just in your way I am just a barrier You do not see what I am because you insist on seeing what I am not You avoid me at all costs because its an inconvenience to you I am in your own head your own heart even Yet you refuse to accept me you go further further than wood and nails you reach for the brick and mortar you build me stronger without even acknowledging me you dance around the surface of my being you cover me up you break me down throw me out But you rebuild me again different materials same understanding same meaning same hidden emotions and thoughts this time you cannot see through me but you still do not see me
Fences of the Heart, Soul, Mind, Body. I am the fence to your love. I love you, yet you do not love me.
